Welshpool, Historic market town in Powys, Wales
The town sits on the banks of the River Severn, with a population of 6,664 residents and numerous independent shops throughout its center.
Originally named Pool, the settlement received its current name Welshpool in 1835 to prevent confusion with Poole in Dorset, England.
Saint Mary's Church, constructed around 1250, stands as a Grade I listed building that commemorates Bishop William Morgan's Welsh Bible translation.
The Cambrian Line railway station connects Welshpool to Shrewsbury and Birmingham in the east and Aberystwyth in the west.
The Smithfield Livestock Market in Welshpool operates as the largest one-day sheep market across Europe.
