DOVEY, or Dyfi (The), a river of Wales. It rises on the east side of Arran-Fowddy, in Merioneth; goes about 30 miles southward and south-westward, across a wing of Montgomery, along the boundary between Merioneth and Cardigan, and past Dinas-Mowddy and Machynlleth, to the Irish sea at Aberdovey. The last 6½ miles of it are estuary. Dovey Castle, 5 miles from Machynlleth, is the seat of George Jeffreys, Esq.
