footnotes =The River Artro ( _cy. Afon Artro) is ariver inNorth Wales .It is about 4.5 miles long and has its source at
Llyn Cwm Bychan belowRhinog Fawr andMoel Ysgyfarnogod . It flows westwards from its source and is joined by theAfon Cwmnantcol atPentre Gwynfryn before passing through the centre ofLlanbedr where it turns north and passesPensarn Wharf .The Artro enters the sea at a sizeable tidal
estuary betweenLlandanwg and Mochras/Shell Island. The current estuary was formed following a diversion of the Artro by the Earl of Winchilsea in 1819 to improve access to thewharf at Pensarn which was the shipment point forslate from Llanfair andLlanbedr . Prior to this the Artro entered the sea to the south of Mochras.External links
