Afon Col-huw (also known as the River Colhuw, sometimes anglicised as Colhugh) is a very short river in Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It is an exceptionally short river, one mile long, formed when two rivers, the Ogney Brook and the Hoddnant, converge south of Llantwit Major. Its valley, the Cwm Col-huw, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument - it was used in the Dig for Victory campaign in World War II.[1]
