Victorian Presteigne
 
Presteigne and the Radnor Valley
 
  Map of the Radnor Valley area  
 

Presteigne and these eastern communities of Radnorshire, like the other areas covered by our website for primary schools, saw enormous changes during the long reign of Queen Victoria.

Education brought new opportunities for children, making them aware of a wider world outside
Transport improvements linked this very rural area with the changing world beyond, bringing new prospects for trade and travel.

Use the links below to see more about some of these changes.
