LUG (THE), a river of Radnor and Hereford. It rises about 8 miles W of Knighton; runs south-eastward, past Llangunllo, Presteigne, Leominster, Stoke-Prior, and Hampton-Bishop, to the Wye near Mordiford; is joined by the Pinsley at Leominster, and by the Arrow at Stoke-Prior; has a total course of about 50 miles; and is subject to sudden floods after rain. It is hindered, by the rapidity of its current in floods, from being rendered very useful for navigation; yet it is navigable up to Lugwardine-bridge.
