About

Knighton sits on the border, marked by Offa's Dyke Path which runs directly through the town. The surrounding landscape is defined by the River Teme and its steep-sided valleys, creating a patchwork of sheep-grazed hills and small woodlands. The area's history is closely tied to its position as a former market town, with a layout that reflects its medieval origins.

Presteigne, the former county town of Radnorshire, lies a few miles to the east. The River Lugg flows past the town, which is known for its well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture lining the main street. The area's character is shaped by quiet country lanes, mixed farming, and the presence of the Judge's Lodging museum, reflecting its past legal importance.
