The Afon Lwyd - (English: Grey River) is a 13-mile long river in south-east Wales which flows from its source north of Blaenavon, through Abersychan, Pontnewynydd, Pontypool, Llanfrechfa and Cwmbran before flowing into the River Usk at Caerleon, which subsequently flows into the Bristol Channel in Newport.
The river was severely affected by pollution from industry and mine discharge, and fly tipping, but during the 1980s efforts were made to improve the water quality of river and improve fish stocks. To aid this, the Environment Agency Wales built a fish leap at Pontymoile in 2010 enabling fish to ascend past the weir there. By late 2011 it was claimed that the river was in its cleanest state since medieval times.
Historically the river has also been known as the Torfaen - meaning 'Breaker of Stones' - which gives some indication of the force of the river during surges. Although this name is no longer in use for the river, it is still in common use as the name for the local authority Torfaen County Borough Council.
This is the highest I've ever seen Afon Lwyd River in Cwmbran, South Wales. Its only around 1 foot from bursting its banks, 3rd January 2016.
Yesterday the pollution was much worse but I didn't video it - I went today but it was a lot clearer, but still noticeable

Sunnybank comprises a magnificent and unique period property, the restoration of which has been achieved by the occupying vendors to ensure that its character and charm are retained. Detail is exemplified by the refurbishment of original wooden window shutters on ground level, ornate plaster work was carefully preserved and reinstated and all original fireplaces with their ornate surrounds remain so that the house provides all the opulent splendours of the past. At the same time the needs of 21st Century family life are met in the form of double glazing, central heating, lovely kitchen and newly appointed bathroom and shower room. The property is privately located in gardens affording a mellow and tranquil setting yet is just one and a half miles from full urban amenities at Pontypool ...
