Rhayader
Rhayader (; (ウェールズ語:Rhaeadr Gwy)) is a market town and community in Powys, Wales. It has a population of 2,088,〔(Powys County Council : ''Census 2011 : Rhayader Community'' ) Retrieved13 November 2010〕 and is the first town on the banks of the River Wye, from its source on the Plynlimon range of the Cambrian Mountains.
The town is one of the principal centres of population in the predominantly rural historic county of Radnorshire.
It is situated roughly midway between North and south Wales on the A470, 13 miles north of Builth Wells and 30 miles east of Aberystwyth on the A44 - two of Wales' most important trunk roads. The B4574 mountain road to Aberystwyth is described by the AA as one of the ten most scenic drives in the world.
== Etymology ==
The name "Rhayader" is corrupted from the Welsh "Rhaeadr Gwy", meaning Waterfall on the Wye. Little remains of the waterfall itself, it having been destroyed in 1780 to make way for the bridge linking the town to Cwmdauddwr and the Elan Valley - the Lakeland of Wales.
