Sluice gates on the river in PwllheliAfon Rhyd-hir

The Afon Rhyd-hir rises on the south-western slopes of Yr Eifl and then flows down under the B4354 near Pentre Uchaf. From here it flows on to Llannor and then about half a mile around Efailnewydd to where it meets the Afon Penrhos by the A499/A497 roundabout to the west of Pwllheli.

Much of the estuary of these two rivers is now not naturally tidal and the water level is controlled by sluice gates on the Cob embankment. The wildlife habitat that has built up in these low lying areas however, has created an excellent haven for wildlife and is now a local nature reserve.
