MenuRhayader, Radnorshire
Rhayader is a market town in Radnorshire, of which it is one of the main centres. It is the first town on the banks of the River Wye, 20 miles below its source on the Plynlimon range of the Cambrian Mountains. The name "Rhayader" is from the Welsh "Rhaeadr Gwy", meaning Waterfall on the Wye. Little remains of the waterfall itself, having been destroyed in 1780 to make way for the bridge linking the town to Cwmdauddwr and the Elan Valley. The town is within the council area of Powys.
