River Lugg, Protected river in Powys, Wales
The River Lugg flows through 63 miles of countryside from Llangynllo in Powys to its confluence with the River Wye at Mordiford.
During the Domesday Book compilation in 1086, the River Lugg powered one-third of Herefordshire's mills, demonstrating its industrial significance in medieval times.
The name of the river stems from Welsh language roots meaning bright stream, reflecting the long-standing connection between the waterway and local heritage.
Several walking paths run alongside the River Lugg, providing access points for fishing, nature observation, and recreational activities throughout the year.
The river's classification as a Site of Special Scientific Interest stems from its rare clay river system, which supports specialized aquatic ecosystems.
