River Dyfi

The Welsh spelling Dyfi is widely used locally and by the Welsh Government, Natural Resources Wales and the BBC. The anglicised spelling Dovey continues to be used by some entities. == Sources ==

The area around Aberystwyth and the Dyfi Valley is known as the Dyfi Biosphere (). It was UNESCO-designated in 1978. Within the biosphere are a number of Special Areas of Conservation and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (Cors Fochno, Coed Cwm Einion and Pen Llŷn a’r Sarnau). In March 2021, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) granted Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust a licence to release a family of beavers into an enclosure within the Dyfi Wildlife Centre (Cors Dyfi), the first officially licensed release of beavers in Wales. Beavers have not yet been released under licence into the wild into the Dyfi catchment, but a licence application is being developed by the Welsh Beaver Project (North Wales Wildlife Trust/Wildlife Trusts Wales) for submission to Natural Resources Wales. There is a small population of beavers already living wild within the Dyfi catchment whose origins are unclear. The estuary is known for its saltmarshes. ==In popular culture==

The Dyfi estuary was used as a location shot in Led Zeppelin's 1976 film The Song Remains the Same. The segment of the film is where Robert Plant comes ashore on a boat, after which he rides a horse, making his way to Raglan Castle. The band's Bron-Yr-Aur cottage is located on the edge of Machynlleth. In 2022 Jim Perrin published an essay on the River Dyfi in “Rivers of Wales” (Gwasg Garreg Gwalch). ==See also==
