Berriew is a charming unspoilt village which is perfectly placed in Powys, in Wales, home to nearly thirteen hundred people. It sits on the Rhiw River which meanders through the village where there is an abundance of picturesque black and white timber framed houses and buildings, and attractive white washed cottages. Agriculture has played its part in the history of the village which dates back many centuries, a legacy of which remains today at the very heart of Berriew with the impressive church that's dedicated to St Bueno, and, although it has undergone several changes across the years the impressive pinnacled tower still graces the skyline. There's a good choice of shops on offer, restaurants with pleasing menus to try, welcoming pubs, and a fabulous 17th Century Inn, and a renowned Art Gallery that really is worth a visit. The ancient busy market town of Welshpool is only five miles from here and is home to the biggest cattle market in Europe. The pretty setting of the village attracts walkers and cyclists as the Severn Way passes through here, giving fascinating views of the magnificent Viaduct which carries the Montgomery Canal high above the river Rhiw on its onwards journey .
