The River Cain (Afon Cain in Welsh) is a river in north Powys which flows into the River Vyrnwy.
Cain's source is just west of Llanfyllin, at the confluence of the Nant Alan and Nant Fyllon.[1]
After flowing east through Llanfyllin, where it is joined by the small River Abel, it continues eastwards alongside the A490 highway. It then turns north-east to pass through Llanfechain and is joined by the Nant Llys before finally flowing east again.[2] It is fed by the Brogan,[3] before joining the Vyrnwy near Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain.[4]
The Cain is 16 km long.[5]
