The Daucleddau (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.
