Image Ystwyth.jpg thumb 250px right River Ystwyth at Trawsgoed The river flows generally westwards before draining into Cardigan Bay at Aberystwyth where it shares the harbour with the River Rheidol . ref Afon Ystwyth The Story of a River ref The Ystwyth valley is now sparsely populated with only a few towns and villages such as Ysbyty Ystwyth , Cwmystwyth Cwm Ystwyth , Pont rhyd y groes , Llanilar and Llanfarian . In previous centuries, however, the Ystwyth valley was relatively densely populated due to its mineral wealth. Silver , lead and zinc have been mined in the valley since Roman Britain Roman times, an activity that reached its peak in the 18th century. The largest of the very many mines was Cwm Ystwyth Lead Mine Cwm Ystwyth Mine . It is reputed that the average age at death of the miners in Cwm Ystwyth was 32, largely because of acute lead poisoning . There is no active metal mining in the Ystwyth valley. The River still carries elevated levels of lead, zinc and silver in its water, mostly due to seepage from abandoned mine tailings and discharges from mine adit s. Away from the abandoned mine workings, the river valley is one of the most beautiful in Wales with steep wooded banks carrying crystal clear water. It is especially beautiful in autumn. The autumn tends to bring large numbers of visitors to parts of the upper valley.
