The village and community of Berriew sits in the rolling Severn valley of Powys, Wales, a few miles west of Welshpool. It occupies a pleasant riverside setting by the River Rhiw and the River Severn and is noted for its well‑preserved timber‑framed and painted cottages and distinctive Victorian cast‑iron bridgework, which give the centre a picture‑postcard charm.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still leans on farming while benefiting from tourism, outdoor pursuits and an appetite for heritage. The community is active - centred on the church of St Beuno, village hall and traditional pubs - and hosts seasonal events and local shows that reflect a strong sense of local identity and conservation-minded stewardship of its historic buildings and landscape.
