Welshpool

Welshpool, a modest market town in Powys, Wales, is home to what is claimed to be the largest sheep market in Europe, held every Monday. Powis Castle, originally built by Welsh princes in the 13th century, stands about a mile from the town centre. The town sits on the River Severn close to the Wales–England border, with Georgian architecture throughout the centre and mountain country nearby.
