TAFF (The), a river of Brecon and Glamorgan. It rises, in two head-streams, on the Brecknock Beacons; runs southward, to a confluence of the head-streams, at Coed-y-Cymmer; goes thence, south-by-eastward, past Merthyr-Tydvil, Quakers-Yard, Pontyprydd, Llandaff, and Cardiff; and enters Bristol channel at Cardiff harbour. It has a total course of about 40 miles; receives the Cynon at Whitehall, and the Rhondda at Ponty-prydd; and falls 568 feet between Merthyr-Tydviland Cardiff.
