The River Ithon - Beats 4 and 5
Its source close to the Severn catchment, the Ithon drains the western areas of Radnorshire before meandering in a southerly direction to join the main river just below Newbridge-on-Wye.
Flowing mostly through Silurian shales, it is often the culprit when the upper Wye turns a greeny grey colour following rainfall. The river is very popular with anglers, however, and holds good populations of trout, grayling and chub. Dace are also present in the Ithon.
