Taf

1. A river in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire, West Wales, which flows into Carmarthen Bay.
   • 1939 Septenber, T. R. Perkins, “The G.W.R in West Wales”, in Railway Magazine, page 202:

     It only remains to notice briefly the branch from Whitland to Cardigan, which for a few miles pursues its tortuous and picturesque course along the valley of the Taf, thence rising by very severe gradients to Crymmych Arms, near to which station is a striking horse-shoe curve.

   • 1952 July, J. F. Burrell, “The Cardigan Branch”, in Railway Magazine, page 483:

     Rhydowen, the next station, 10¼ miles from Whitland, has a goods loop and only a wooden building. The Taf is crossed beyond the station, and the railway passes from Carmarthenshire into Pembrokeshire, but the river is recrossed before Llanfyrnach is reached.
