Radnorshire Wildlife Trust

Which two ancient cities were joined to form what we now know as London? I know about Londinium, but I'm finding conflicting accounts of other settlements - the Anglo-Saxon Ludenwic for example, which was in a slightly different area from the Roman settlement, but is that what they're looking for? Does anyone have any bright ideas please?

How difficult is this quiz? Is London & Westminster too obvious?

Hi Bogtrotter.
Could you please let me know details of this quiz as I have a soft spot for Radnorshire and its wildlife.
I spent many holidays, for about 50 years, in a little village called Clyro and only wish I could get back there again now.

kettledrum - most of the quiz is pretty easy, but we'd never come across the idea of London being founded on two cities - as far as we knew it was just Londinium, but London and Westminster was one possibility that came up in our researches.
guyfawkes - unfortunately the quiz has to be in by the end of this week, we only found out about it at the a.g.m. last Wednesday. We're in New Radnor (almost 4 years since we moved here) and when we go to Hay we go over the top and drop down from the Painscastle road through Clyro - which is not as small as it used to be, like so many villages nowadays, but still an attractive place.

Hi! again Bogtrotter.
Thank you for your prompt answer to my request.
How I envy you living where you do. My g.g.grandfather came from Old Radnor I have visited that and New Radnor many times
.My holidays were spent with my Grandmother who lived at The Old Post Office, Clyro (24 The Village) so I know that area very well and regret the alterations which have been
made to what was once a quiet, friendly village where everyone knew each other. Her house, incidentally, was the Post Office when Francis Kilvert lived in the village.
Thanks again
