About

Churchstoke ward occupies the northeastern corner of Powys, bordering Shropshire in England. The landscape is defined by rolling farmland and the steep, wooded slopes of the Stiperstones to the north. The area is primarily agricultural, with scattered farms and small settlements like Church Stoke itself and Hyssington. The River Camlad flows through the ward, marking part of the historic boundary between Wales and England.

A notable feature is the Mitchell's Fold stone circle, a prehistoric monument situated on the high moorland. The Offa's Dyke Path long-distance trail runs along the eastern edge, following the ancient earthwork. The local economy centres on farming and some tourism related to the walking routes and historical sites. The area maintains a quiet, rural character distinct from the more mountainous regions of central Powys.
