Carno is a village and community in the historic county of Montgomeryshire, now in the county of Powys, Wales. It is located on the main A470 road between Llanbrynmair & Caersws. The local railway station, on the Cambrian Line, closed as part of the Beeching closures in the 1960s. An ongoing campaign started in August 2009 for its reopening, with the Welsh Assembly agreeing to do a business study as part of the Cambrian Rail Study. At present, the adjacent stations on the line are at Caersws and Machynlleth. ==History== Carno was the original Welsh base of the Laura Ashley company when Bernard and Laura moved there from Kent in 1961. The factory closed in 2005.〔 〕 Carno has the remains of a Roman Fort or mound,(Gaer Noddfa), comprising a rectangular area by located on the bank of the Afon Carno adjoining the churchyard.〔(Roman Britain (1964) )〕〔(Gaer Noddfa, Carno )〕 Local legend also makes reference to a supposed battle between two sons of Hywel Dda (Prince of Wales 942-950) in the area. One of the valleys, Cwm Nant y Penglog, is named after a stream which supposedly leads to the site of the battle as Cwm Nant y Penglog means 'Valley of the stream of the skull'. Plasau Duon, a timber framed house, was in the parish of Carno. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carno」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
