context_page_description: The Afon Col-huw is a very short river in Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales.
  It is an exceptionally short river, with a length of only 1 mile/1.6 kilometres long. It is 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.
context_section_description: The Hoddnant is the larger of the Col-huw's tributaries. It is two miles long and is formed at Llanmaes, at the confluence of the Llanmaes Brook and the Boverton Brook.
  In days gone by, the Hoddnant's name was translated into English, and it became known as the Merryvale, or Merry Brook.
