Newtown North

Newtown North is the area immediately north of Newtown town centre in Powys. It is largely residential, with a mix of terraced streets and later housing estates alongside small local shops and a primary school. The neighbourhood sits close to the course of the River Severn as it passes through Newtown, and walking routes connect the northern streets with the town centre and civic facilities. Bus services run along the main roads, linking the area with other parts of Powys and beyond.

Community life in Newtown North centres on a few small green spaces, sports pitches and a community hall that hosts clubs and events. On the northern edge, fragments of former mill buildings and short, raised channels can still be seen near the riverside, traces of the town’s 19th-century textile activity that shaped much of the local street pattern. Everyday amenities are within easy reach, and the area provides straightforward access to the shops, health services and civic buildings found in central Newtown.
