Nant Gwrangon

A stream near Rhigos, Rhondda Cynon Taf. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Nant Gwrangon is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Rhigos, Rhondda Cynon Taf, with about 3.5 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Nant Wyrfa, which flows on into Sychryd, then Afon Mellte, then Afon Nedd (River Neath) and out to the sea.

Next gauge downstream

Glyn Neath River Station on Afon Nedd (River Neath), about 6.4 km along the river below where Nant Gwrangon ends on the map.

After that, Resolven River Station, about 16 km along the river.

No gauge measures Nant Gwrangon itself. A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed it, mixed with everything else that has joined on the way, so it says nothing exact about this stream.

What this page can and cannot tell you

Its line, its name and where it flows come from Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small streams, ditches and culverts. “Flows into” is the map’s word: a channel that is not on the map is not shown here, which does not mean it is not there.
No gauge measures Nant Gwrangon itself, so its own level is not known here.
Storm overflows are listed only where the river map places them on this stream; an overflow it could not place is not counted.
No water-sampling point with a banked sample is placed on this stream. Only England’s samples are banked, and only where the map can place their sampling point.
Nothing on this page says whether any place floods. For an address, see its postcode page.
