The County of Radnor is an inland shire in mid-Wales.
Geography
The county is bounded to the north by Montgomeryshire and Shropshire, to the east by Herefordshire, to the south and south-west by Brecknockshire and to the west by Cardiganshire. In the east and south are some comparatively level tracts, including the Vale of Radnor, but most of the county is mountainous, with the Cambrian Mountains running through the west of the county. The highest point is at Radnor Forest (2,166 ft). The Elan Valley contains several huge man-made reservoirs supplying water to Birmingham. The main rivers are the Wye, the Elan and the Ithon. The main industries are tourism and hill farming.
