VYRNWY (The), a river chiefly in Montgomery, but partly dividing that county from Salop. It rises on the Berwyn mountains; runs northeastward, past Llwydiarth, Mathrafal, and Maitfod, to Llansantffraid; and goes thence eastward, past L1anymynech, to the Severn at Melverley. Its length of course is about 35 miles; and its chief tributaries are the Einion, the Cain, and the Tanat.
