BRECKNOCKSHIRE. Ill 



ST. LAWRENCE, about eight miles from Fish-

There are two near Lanychair Church, about 

 three miles from Fishguard ; also near St. David's, 

 on the western side of the county. 



BRECKNOCKSHIRE. 



THE principal rivers of the county are the Wye, 

 the Uske, the Irvon, the Tawe, the Taf, and the 

 Nedd, or Neath. 



THE WYE, 



With a trifling exception at Glasbury, washes the 

 northern boundary of this county, and divides it 

 from Radnorshire for about thirty-three miles in 

 length; after which it enters Herefordshire, near 

 Hay, and falls into the Severn below Chepstow. 

 In this river are found salmon, trout, grayling, 

 pike, perch, lastsprings, samlet, or salmon pink, 

 chub, dace, loach, gudgeons, eels, roach, lam- 

 preys, shad, bullheads, crayfish, minnows, and 

 muscles. The salmon and pike are remarkably 

 good. The trout are not in equal estimation with 

 epicures, the flesh being white, and they have nei- 

 ther the firmness nor flavour of those caught in the 

 Uske. This, however, is of little consequence to
