Radnor Forest, Protected mountain range in Powys, Wales.
The forest spans across 1603 hectares of land, featuring peaks up to 660 meters high with diverse geological formations of Silurian shales, mudstones, and limestone.
Archaeological findings reveal Bronze Age settlements through round barrows and ring cairns, particularly near elevated locations such as Black Mixen and Bache Hill.
Four churches dedicated to St Michael encircle the forest, each positioned strategically according to Welsh folklore about containing a dormant dragon within the area.
Visitors access the Water Break-its-neck waterfall through forestry roads connecting to the A44 main road near New Radnor village.
The forest contains experimental research sites and maintains specialized infrastructure for monitoring deer populations and controlling their numbers within the protected area.
