Radnorshire, inland co. of South Wales, bounded
N. by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire, E. by Here-
fordshire, S. and SW. by Brecknockshire, and AV. by
Cardiganshire ; greatest length, N. and S., 30 miles;
greatest breadth, E. and W., 34 miles; area, 276,552
ac., pop. 23,528. Radnorshire is the smallest of the
6 counties of South Wales. In the E. and S. are
some comparatively level tracts, including the Vale of
Radnor, but the greater portion of the surface is hilly,
or even mountainous, the Forest of Radnor reaching in
its highest summit an elevation of 2163 ft. Oats and
wheat are grown in the lower parts, but attention is
chiefly directed to the rearing of stock; the higher
parts serve only for the feeding of sheep and the breed-
ing of Welsh ponies. Butter is made in large quan-
tities. (For agricultural statistics, see Appendix.) The
minerals are of little value, except the limestone which
underlies the Vale of Radnor. The mfrs. are very
limited, chiefly flannel. The forests, which at one
time were of great extent, have long disappeared.
There are several medicinal mineral springs, those of
Llandrindod being in great repute. None of the rivers
(Wye, Elan, Ithon, &c.) are navigable, but the railway
communication is good. Radnorshire was made a county
by Henry VIII. It comprises 6 hundreds and 60 pars,
with part of 1 other. It contains no parl. or mun. bor.
It is in the dioceses of St David’s and Hereford. It
returns 1 member to Parliament.
