About Welshpool - show infohide info
Welshpool is a town of 6,269 inhabitants, close to the border of England. The town lies on the River Severn. Welshpool's Welsh name, Y Trallwng literally meaning 'the marshy or sinking land'. Originally the town was known as Poole, but this was changed to Welshpool to distinguish it from Poole in Dorset. The towns origins date to 1263, when it became a borough by charter. Prior to that, the primitive Welshpool was known as Y Trallwm 13 centuries ago, until it was awarded its charter. The town lost its status as a borough in 1972, thanks to the Local Government Act, when Welshpool's principal powers were transferred to Montgomeryshire District Council. The town is also known for being where hedgehog crisps were invented by a Mr Lewis. He set up a factory in the town, and became a millionaire when he was bought out by the national group controlling Benson's crisps. Attractions in the town include the 13th century Powis Castle, which contains a number of artefacts that Clive of India brought back from India when he married into the Herberts of Powis. The castle affords excellent views over the River Severn and the rolling countryside. The countryside attracts a number of walkers, with a number of footpaths in the region. Other activities include angling on the Severn, golf nearby, and there is also a leisure centre in the town. Also in the town is the Welshpool and Llanfair railway, an 8 mile long narrow guage steam railway operated by enthusiasts between Easter and early October. The line was originally for taking people and livestock to market, but was closed in 1956, though was re-opened in 1960 by an enthusiast group. the Montgomeryshire Canal also offers narrowboat tours. The Monday cattle market is well patronised, and is one of the largest in the UK. Welshpool is served by trains between Birmingham New Street and Aberystwyth.
