Radnorshire

Radnorshire was one of the thirteen historic counties of Wales and later from 1974 to 1996 a district. It was the least populous of the Welsh counties. It lies on the English border between Montgomery (North) and Brecknock (South). It has a wild and dreary surface, mountainous and woody. Radnor Forest covers an elevated heathy tract in the East. It is watered by the Wye and the Teme. The soil does not favour agriculture, and stock-raising is the chief industry. Contains some excellent spas, that at Llandrindod the most popular. County town was Presteigne, which headquarters the district now.
