CYNON (The), a river of South Wales. It rises in the south of Brecon, 2½ miles W of Garawen; runs 4 miles southward into Glamorgan; and proceeds 14 miles south-eastward, past Aberdare and Dyffryn, to a junction with the Taff, 2 miles WNW of Llanfavon. Great part of its vale teems with mining and manufacturing industry; and is traversed by the Aberdare railway and the Cardiff canal.
