Afon Dyfrdwy (River Dee) SSSI

Afon Dyfrdwy (River Dee) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in the preserved county of Clwyd, north Wales, along the River Dee with the River Dee (England) SSSI in England.[1] The river begins in Snowdonia National Park, Wales. From there, it flows northeast to Corwen, goes eastwards past Llangollen, and continues east through Chester, England.[2] It empties into the Dee estuary, that forms the border between the Wirral Peninsula in north-west England and Flintshire in north-east Wales. The river has been designated a Designated Special Area of Conservation due to its role as a habitat for Atlantic Salmon and Floating Water Plantain.[3]
