Recognized as the 'Gateway to Wales', Welshpool offers endless things to do and places to see. The town is situated in the upper part of the picturesque Severn Valley near the border between England and Wales, and is surrounded by the rolling hills of Montgomeryshire and the gloriously unspoilt Welsh countryside. There is also an eclectic selection of inns, restaurants, cafes and pubs to choose from, offering everything from classic Welsh dishes to contemporary dining. The town is also the first leg of the journey on the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway.
