The Ystwyth and Rheidol Rivers: Their History Through Time

An illustrated talk by Professor Stephen Tooth of Aberystwyth University, this event looks at the Ystwyth and Rheidol rivers and how they have changed over time. It is based at Aberystwyth University and is presented as an engaging in-person lecture for anyone interested in the natural and historical development of the local landscape.

The talk explores the rivers’ long pre-ice age and post ice age natural history, along with the ways they have altered through natural processes and human influence over the past few hundred years. It also considers the ongoing changes and challenges facing these river systems today.

The event includes practical visitor information such as wheelchair access, a hearing loop, toilets, a café, and parking guidance, making it a well-supported public lecture venue.
