tributary of theRiver Conwy ("Afon Conwy" in Welsh), which is the main river of theConwy valley inNorth Wales .It flows from picturesque
Llyn Crafnant , joining the river Conwy atTrefriw . It is about 2.5 miles in length.The river Crafnant itself has a tributary, the
river Geirionydd which flows fromLlyn Geirionydd . These two join a little below the formerKlondyke Mill , which used water from both rivers. Klondyke was a mining and milling complex connected with some of the metal mines of theGwydir Forest .The river Crafnant is also fed by a number of unnamed streams draining from
Cefn Cyfarwydd , the ridge to the north-west.At Trefriw water is extracted to pass through the woollen mill to generate hydro-electricity for the mill.
Coed Crafnant, an area of woodland in the valley, is managed by the
North Wales Wildlife Trust .Cwm Glas Crafnant is a National Nature Reserve administered by the
Countryside Council for Wales .External links
