This charming community, Guilsfield, is home to two pubs, a church from the 12th century, and typical black and white dwellings. Three miles from the Welsh/English border, nestled in the upper reaches of the lovely Severn Valley and surrounded by rolling hills and gorgeous, unspoiled countryside, is Welshpool, a lively market town. In addition to the reconstructed cock fighting pit and intriguing Heritage Trail in the town centre, Welshpool has a distinctive mix of stores selling arts and crafts, fashion, and leisure activities. Visit the famed Dingle Gardens, the 13th-century Powis Castle, the Llanfair Light Railway, take a trip on the Montgomery Canal, or take beautiful walks and bike rides along Offa’s Dyke and the National Trails.
