The Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway operates from the eastern edge of town, a short walk over the Banwy Bridge from the hilly streets of the centre. Being directly opposite The River Banwy you’re in an idyllic place to wander around and enjoy the sound of the river rushing past, which leads to an Arboretum containing over 25 different species of British trees. Local places of interest include the famous medieval Powys Castle, known for its extensive formal gardens, terraces, parkland and lovely café, located near Welshpool. The renowned Dingle Garden two miles north of Welshpool, a picturesque garden with a lake and small waterfall. There are two nature reserves located in Welshpool, Llyn Coed y Dinas Nature Reserve and Severn Farm Pond Nature Reserve, where one can go and enjoy seeing many varieties of wildlife along the walkways, with both locations being free of charge to all. Further afield, discover the beautiful lake Vyrnwy, where you can admire the dam and straining tower built during the Victorian era as well as explore the surrounding waterfalls, woodlands and mountains, great for those adventurers.

SUSAN HILTON-JOWETT
This is a delightful beamy cottage and the layout - 2 staircases and 2 bathrooms - worked brilliantly for us and our son and partner. Just a couple of warnings - the TV reception is tricky, so don't rely on it for entertainment, and one of the staircases has a banister only half way up, not so safe for very old or young.Otherwise, it was comfortable and well equipped, and the town has plenty of eateries and an excellent butcher. And a steam railway of course!

Beautiful cost cottage in a traditional small village. All the local amenities you need. 2x small shops within 5 mins walk. Three pubs catering for all tastes. A lovely woodland walk acros the road and down to the river. Recommend a car to explore the local area. A little yard but no real garden but beautiful countryside all around. Cottage had all you need and a complementary tea and coffee on arrival. Highly recommend.
