The river flows eastwards from its source on the eastern flank of Mynydd Dolgoed,[1] joining the Afon Dyfi at the small village of Aberangell. The river was known for its salmon and trout fishing in the Victoria era.[2] A number of slate mines were once found along its length, linked to Aberangell by the Hendre-Ddu Tramway.[3]
