The Upper Clydach River runs from a poorly drained area south of Cwmgors and flows south and southeast through Cwm Gors for about 7 km to join the River Tawe at Pontardawe - 51°43′04″N 3°50′55″W / 51.71775°N 3.84873°W / 51.71775; -3.84873.
Each of the rivers bearing the name 'Clydach' in South Wales is thought to derive from an earlier Celtic word 'klou' or 'kleu' together with the suffix '-ach' which is of Irish origin.
The sense is of a 'strong-flowing', 'washing' or stony river.
