River Tawe

The River Tawe is a river in South Wales that flows through Swansea before emptying into Swansea Bay. It originates in the Brecon Beacons and travels approximately 27 miles, supporting local ecosystems and communities. Historically, the river played a vital role in industry, particularly coal and tin mining, and contributed to Swansea's growth. Today, the Tawe is valued for recreation, wildlife habitats, and urban regeneration projects along its banks. Efforts continue to balance natural preservation with urban development, making it an important environmental and cultural feature of the region.
