Picture of River Dee at Llangollen

The River Dee rises in the hills above Llanuwchllyn Merionethshire and discharges to the sea between Wales and the Wirral in England. The river has been famed as a mixed fishery with Salmon and trout fishing. On its travels it heads eastwards through the very picturesque Vale of Llangollen, through the Welsh foothills near Bangor-on-dee and then meanders northwards along the Cheshire plain to its tidal limit at Chester.
