EBBW, or Ebbwy (The), a river of Monmouth. It rises, in two head-streams, on the borders of Brecon; unites the head-streams at Crumlin-bridge; goes south by eastward thence to Risca; receives there the Sir-howy; and goes south-eastward thence to a confluence with the Usk, 2½ miles S of Newport. Its total length of course is about 24 miles. A canal and a railway go close to it, from the neighbourhood of Newport to a number of great iron-works far up its valley; and the railway ramifies up the Sirhowy, and up the Ebbw's two head-streams; and connects, laterally, with the Taff Vale Extension.
