Welshpool
Only 8 miles to the east of Gwernydd Hall is the picturesque border town of Welshpool, known as the ‘gateway to Wales’, with the spectacular Powis Castle and the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway – one of the great little trains of Wales. The georgian architecture that adorns the curving high street would merit a visit in itself, but there is plenty more to do and see in what is one of Powys’ biggest towns.
