Meifod is a charming tiny stone-built village by the River Vyrnwy that enjoys plenty of sunshine, is surrounded by rolling hills and wooded areas, and has a post office, a local tavern, and a convenience shop. This charming community, located approximately 7 miles to the northwest of Welshpool, also includes tennis courts (day passes are reasonably priced at the village store), its own football and rugby teams, and a historic church where two former princes of Powys are rumoured to be buried. Purchasing fishing licences for the Rivers Vyrnwy and Banwy is also possible at the village store. Within a short drive away are Lake Vyrnwy, home to an rspb reserve, and Pistyll Rhaeader (Llanrhader waterfall), a 240-foot waterfall that cascades in three stages and is regarded as one of Wales' seven natural wonders. Both locations have scientific value. Five of North Wales' top mountain biking locations are all within an hour's drive of Gwyndu Cottage. One of the tiniest towns in Powys is close by and located in the Banwy valley of historic Montgomeryshire. The steam Welshpool to Llanfair Light Railway is just a short stroll from the town center's hilly streets across the Banwy Bridge. A vibrant market town called Welshpool is located 4 miles from the Welsh/English border in the Severn Valley. A renovated cockfighting pit, an intriguing History Trail, and a delightful mix of shops, fine pubs, and restaurants are all there. See the renowned Powis castle from the 13th century or take a sail down the Montgomery canal. Here, you can have a wonderful afternoon. You can admire the Georgian architecture while having a leisurely stroll through the town. A golf club with a privileged location, overlooking the lovely Welsh borderlands, is the ideal place to develop your swing. The country town of Shrewsbury, with its Tudor half-timbered buildings, museums, and great shopping experiences, is located further away. A chance not to be passed up!
