River Gwenfro (Afon Gwenfro)
A stream near Wrecsam, Wrexham. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.
The River Gwenfro (Afon Gwenfro) is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Wrecsam, Wrexham, with about 12 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Afon Clywedog (River Clywedog), which flows on into the River Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy) and out to the sea.

Bowling Bank River Station on Afon Clywedog (River Clywedog), about 9.1 km along the river below where the River Gwenfro (Afon Gwenfro) ends on the map.

After that, Farndon, about 28 km along the river.
No gauge measures the River Gwenfro (Afon Gwenfro) 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.

A status says whether an overflow is discharging now, never how much or why. A monitor that is offline or has not reported is not “not discharging”. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →

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 the River Gwenfro (Afon Gwenfro) 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.
