Churchstoke sits in rural Powys, Wales, snug against the England–Wales border in the old county of Montgomeryshire. The parish is characterised by rolling farmland, small streams and hedgerows, with the route of Offa's Dyke and attractive footpaths close by, giving good walking country and long views towards Shropshire.
Historically centred on a medieval church, the area remains largely agricultural with a scattering of hamlets and small enterprises; tourism from walkers and visitors also contributes. Social life is active for a rural community, with village halls, pubs and local events helping to sustain a distinctive cross‑border sense of identity and a mix of Welsh and English cultural influences.
