Nant Myddlyn

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

Nant Myddlyn is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Llanilltud Faerdref, Rhondda Cynon Taf, with about 3.5 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Afon Clun, which flows on into Afon Elái (Ely River), then the River Taff (Afon Taf) and out to the sea.

Next gauge downstream

St Fagans River Station on Afon Elái (Ely River), about 23 km along the river below where Nant Myddlyn ends on the map.

After that, Ely Bridge River Station, about 26 km along the river.

No gauge measures Nant Myddlyn 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 Myddlyn 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.
