Bausley with Criggion is a small, largely rural community in Powys, in mid‑Wales just west of Welshpool and close to the English border. The landscape is typical Montgomeryshire countryside: rolling farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands with the valley of the River Severn not far away, making it popular with walkers and anyone after a quiet, pastoral patch of Wales.
Locally the economy and social life revolve around agriculture and small‑scale local services, with a keen sense of village community and occasional events in the village hall and church - plus scattered historic farmsteads and earthworks that hint at a long rural past. An unmistakable landmark in the area is the former Criggion transmitting station, which adds an industrial‑heritage note to an otherwise agricultural setting and underlines how the modern and the historic sit side‑by‑side in this part of Powys.
