MenuKnighton, Radnorshire
Knighton is a small market town in Radnorshire, standing on the banks of the River Teme on the border with Shropshire. The railway station and some housing lie across the border in Shropshire. The town's English name, Knighton, is from the Old English cniht tun meaning "knight town", though in Old English a "knight" may be a knight as is familiar today or an armed retainer, or just a youth. The Welsh name, Tref-y-Clawdd, is unrelated and means "town on the dyke", referring to Offa's Dyke, on which the town does indeed stand. The town is within the council area of Powys.
