Background

History

The river's name is marked (in Latin, as Keach flu.) on a 1583 map of Pembrokeshire. The valley (Glyn Cuch) is well known in Welsh literature as the place where, in the Mabinogi, Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed has his fateful meeting with Arawn, Lord of the Underworld. Boundary streams were often thought of as portals to the underworld.
