Welshpool is a vibrant market town in Powys. It is a great base for exploring Mid Wales and is surrounded by fine countryside, history and heritage. The town’s Georgian streets have a range of places to eat and drink, shops, galleries, and other attractions. You find accommodation in the town, too.

A beautiful and quaint North Powys town, very small but charming and there are a number of local walks that you can do.
