Radnorshire

PROPERTY JUNCTION'S HOME BUYERS' GUIDE TO RADNORSHIRE

Home to many of Wales' hidden gems of towns and sleepy villages, Radnorshire is a mix of lively conurbations, rolling farmland and scenic countryside. Taking in part of the Brecon Beacons, the county is both sparsely populated and largely rural, making it the perfect location for a country retreat or new home out of the city. Bordering Shropshire immediately to the east, it also benefits from strong transport links to major English cities – ideal for professionals looking to commute to work while living in the splendid countryside.
