The Cleddau Trail is an initiative of Pembrokeshire Rivers Trust to encourage local community access to, and involvement with, the Western and Eastern Cleddau rivers. Seven sites are currently featured on each of the two rivers . Details may be selected via the drop-down menu on the left or by moving your cursor over the triangular hotspots (labelled W1, W2, E1, E2 etc) on this map:

 

 

The aim is to promote a series of public access sites along the river to improve understanding of river systems so that more people can enjoy its wildlife, landscapes and plant life, and learn about the historic and current uses of the Cleddau river system.

 

 

 

Y Daugleddau (two Cleddau rivers)

The Cleddau river system incorporates the discharge of two watersheds into the Milford Haven Waterway. The Eastern and Western Cleddau rivers meet at Landshipping Point. The Western Cleddau winds its way down from the north to this point, from its source in Llangloffan Fen, with the influence of the sea ceasing at the weir in Haverfordwest. The Eastern Cleddau comes from the north east; its source is just below Foeldrygarn at the eastern end of the Preseli Hills.

 

The welsh name for Milford Haven is 'Aberdaugleddau', which translates as the mouth of the two Cleddaus.
