The River Carno (Welsh: Afon Carno) is a river in Powys, mid Wales, and a tributary of the River Severn. The river is named after the village of Carno, which is close to the source in the foothills of the Cambrian Mountains. From Carno it flows roughly parallel to the A470 road, past Clatter and through Pontdolgoch, before emptying into the Severn at Caersws.

Carno F.C.

Carno Football Club is an amateur Welsh football team based in the village of Carno. The team competes in the Central Wales Northern Division. The club was formed in 1960 and began life in the Montgomeryshire Amateur League, eventually winning it in the 1966–67 season (no promotion). Carno bounced between Divisions One and Two until joining the Mid Wales League Division 2 in 1982, picking up a Montgomeryshire Amateur League Cup along the way. Carno lifted the Montgomeryshire Cup for the first time in 1983. 1983–84 saw the Mid Wales League merge into one division but a failure to adapt saw Carno drift back to the Montgomeryshire Amateur League Division Two by the 1985–86 season. A bounce-back promotion and a league title in the 1987–88 season led to promotion back to the Mid Wales League. Carno then reached new heights as they were founding members of the new Cymru Alliance in 1990–91. In 1995–96 Carno were relegated to the Mid Wales League. Carno claimed their first Mid Wales League Cup and were crowned Mid Wales League Champions as the millennium drew to a close. By the 2005–06 season fortunes had changed and Carno finished rock bottom (no relegation). Better times were to come, league positions improved and the club secured their second Montgomeryshire Cup victory in 2007–08 and their third in the 2013–14 season. In the 2015/16 season Carno reached the last 8 of the FAW Trophy, semi-final stages of both the Radnorshire Cup and League Cup and lifted the Central Wales Challenge Cup for the first time. Carno also competed in a second final and third consecutive Montgomeryshire Cup Final. For the second consecutive year they were defeated in the final by Llanfair United FC. In 2022 the club was relegated to Tier 4, ending the run as the team with the most consequent seasons in Tier 3. From their first game Carno have played at the Recreational Ground now commonly known as Ty Brith. History shows however that originally the ground had been known as "The Gay Meadow". The ground is located in the village itself.
