The surficial deposits and landforms of the middle Dyfi Valley, Wales, are examined and a sequence of glacial, glacio‐fluvial and glacio‐lacustrine sediments is identified. This is considered to relate to a late stage in the wastage of the Late‐Devensian Merioneth ice‐cap. A sequence of terrace gravels overlying the giacigenic succession represents dissection during early Flandrian times.
