River Taff, Rivers Cardiff, City of Cardiff - Wales where to go, what to see and where to stay in Wales

The River Taff is known as the Afon Taf in Welsh. It rises as two rivers in the Brecon Beacons - the Taf Fechan (Little Taff) and the Taf Fawr (Big Taff), before joining to form the Taff north of Merthyr Tydfil. It is one of the ten major rivers in the United Kingdom. The River Taff is a popular place for the migration of certain fish, including the salmon, river trout and elver in the early part of the season. The upper reaches of the Taff is one of the premier trout rivers in the rincipality. It provides fly fishing of a very high quality right through the season, starting in early March and ending at the end of September.
