Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for LLECH (THE)

LLECH (THE), a rivulet of Brecon; falling into the Tawe, 3 miles above Ystradgynlais. It is a romantic stream; presents much attraction to the tourist, from its mouth up to Capel-Colbren; and makes there a fall of about 100 feet, called Scwd-Hen-Rhyd, with such a leap as to allow a person to pass underneath dry-shod.
