Welshpool is situated in the county of Powys on the Welsh /English Borders. An ideal location for touring the Welsh Border Lands, Welshpool is just 18 miles from Shrewsbury, 6 miles from Montgomery, and 8 miles from Llanfyllin. Sitting in the upper Severn Valley and with lush green countryside surrounding the town, Welshpool is a beautiful place with plenty of charm.

The Montgomery Canal and the River Severn converge at Welshpool as do the Severn Way and the Offa's Dyke Trail, both favourites with long distance walkers.

There is plenty to do both in and around Welshpool. Powis Castle sits just to the edge of the town, offering scenic views and plenty of fascinating history. The ruins of Montgomery Castle are nearby, as well as the remains of an old motte and bailey settlement. As well as castles, you will be sure to find an array of spectacular gardens, including the Dingle Garden which incorporates its own small lake, and the interesting quarry garden at Dingle Nursery.

Welshpool can be easily accessed via railway and car, and accommodation includes self catering accommodation including cottages, farmhouses, guesthouses, bed and breakfasts options, and many caravan parks both in Welshpool and the surrounding area.
