The Dyfi valley includes the westerly spur of Powys, Ceredigion north
of Aberystwyth, south Gwynedd and the southern rim of Snowdonia National
Park. Sometimes the river is spelt Dovey. The valley contains a wealth
of natural attractions:

The long Tarren escarpment gives a marvellous view of sea and hills
from the north side of the estuary
-
The beautiful Aran mountains at the head of the valley are accessible
from Dinas Mawddwy

Snowdonia offers some of Britain's most breathtaking scenery, with
Cadair Idris easily accessible from the valley

designated as Wales's first biosphere reserve by UNESCO

Ynyslas dunes and Cors Fochno National Nature Reserve are situated
to the south of the mouth of the Dyfi, next to Borth
-
Some of the most beautiful, award-winning beaches run along either
edge of the estuary, from Aberdyfi to Tywyn in the north and from
Ynyslas to Borth in the south

The Pennant valley, with its steep wooded slopes above Llanbrynmair,
is a striking example of a captured river.
