Radnor

New Radnor lies beneath a castle mound on the eastern edge of the Welsh hills. The earthwork occupies a natural bluff overlooking the settlement and a route into Elfael, a district contested by Welsh rulers and the lords of the Marches. In 1188 Archbishop Baldwin visited Radnor on his journey through Wales to preach the Crusade. The surviving mound recalls a fortified place on the changing frontier between Wales and England.
