About

Berriew and Castle Caereinion ward covers a rural expanse in northern Powys, centred around the valleys of the River Rhiw and River Banwy. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, wooded hills, and scattered villages. The historic settlement of Berriew lies along the Rhiw, while Castle Caereinion is positioned further west. Agriculture remains a visible part of the landscape, with fields defining much of the lower ground between the surrounding uplands.

The ward's communities are connected by narrow country lanes. A notable feature is the preserved Montgomery Canal, which runs through Berriew, its towpath now a leisure route. The area includes the site of the former Castle Caereinion railway station, hinting at its past connections. This is a quiet part of Powys, where small parish churches and traditional buildings anchor the villages within the wider agricultural setting.
