Welshpool's Gungrog ward lies directly north of the town centre, forming a primarily residential area bordered by the A458 to the north and the River Severn to the south.

The ward's layout facilitates easy access to the central commercial and civic services.

A notable local feature is the historic Gungrog Mill, a former flannel factory that speaks to the area's industrial past.
