Afon Fathew The Afon Fathew ((英語:River Mathew/Fathew)) is a river in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The river is downstream from the Dolgoch Falls which is a popular nature site, and is followed for much of its course by the Talyllyn Railway. == Name ==
The name of the river in Welsh is ''Mathew'', presumably in origin the personal name Matthew. Due to the rule of consonant mutation, ''Mathew'' becomes ''Fathew'' following the feminine noun ''afon'' ('river'). Likewise, the feminine noun ''pont'' ('bridge') gives rise to the name of the hamlet ''Pontfathew'', now considered to be a part of the village of Bryn-crug. In English, the Welsh name ''Afon Fathew'' is commonly used, and ''River Mathew'' less so. The form ''River Fathew'' is also quite common, although it is difficult to justify on a linguistic basis.
