map_caption =The River Dyfi ("Afon Dyfi" in Welsh) (also known in English as the River Dovey) is a
river in midWales .Source
It rises in the small
lake Creiglyn Dyfi at about convert|1900|ft|m|sigfig=2 abovesea level , belowAran Fawddwy , flowing south toDinas Mawddwy andCemmaes Road , then south west pastMachynlleth toCardigan Bay atAberdyfi . It shares its watershed with theRiver Severn and the River Dee before flowing generally south-westwards down to a wide estuary. The only large town on its route is Machynlleth.Because of its origins high in the
Cambrian Mountains and its relatively short length, it is prone to flooding and some roads in the lower catchment can become impassable during very wet weather. It is a relatively pristine river with few polluting inputs and is notable for itsSalmon andBrown Trout .The catchment area was notable for its now defunct lead mines and
slate quarries, especially aroundCorris andDinas Mawddwy .Tributaries
