Welshpool

Few towns in Wales have a history as closely tied to the borderlands of the Welsh Marches as Welshpool. Set beside the River Severn in Powys, it developed as a market town serving the farming country between Wales and England. Powis Castle, just south of the centre, began as a medieval stronghold and was later transformed into a grand country house, known for its terraced gardens and collections. Welshpool is also the starting point of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, a heritage narrow-gauge line into the surrounding countryside.
