Ebbw River
The Ebbw River (/ˈɛbuː/; Welsh: Afon Ebwy) is a river in South Wales which gives its name to the town of Ebbw Vale. The Ebbw River is joined by the Ebbw Fach River (Welsh: Afon Ebwy Fach; meaning 'little Ebbw river') at Aberbeeg. The Ebbw Fach is itself fed by a left-bank tributary, the River Tyleri, from Cwmtillery.
In common with the names of the nearby Sirhowy River and Rhymney River, the name for the Ebbw River is in a reverse order of the names of rivers that are close to it, for example, that of the River Taff, which is to the west of it, and the River Usk, into which it flows.
The Sirhowy River joins the Ebbw River at Crosskeys, then the river flows south east, through the town of Risca, then through the western suburbs of Newport, alongside Tredegar Park. The tidal Ebbw joins with the estuarine River Usk seaward of Newport, before flowing into the Mouth of the Severn.
