Anglers by the River Teifi, Llechryd The River Teifi is the longest river which is wholly in Wales and flows 75 miles from its source in the Cambrian mountains to its estuary at Cardigan. It is tidal up to Llechryd. In this view it is flowing from right to left. Salmon and Sea Trout (Sewin) are fished here. The viewpoint is in Pembrokeshire and the far bank in Ceredigion; the river being the boundary between these two counties at this point.
