Crossgates is a small village in the county of Powys in mid-Wales, set among the rolling hills and patchwork farmland that typify the area. It has a compact cluster of houses and traditional buildings and provides ready access to lanes and footpaths popular with walkers and cyclists.
The local economy is still largely agricultural, with a mix of long‑standing farming families and people who commute to nearby towns. Social life tends to centre on the village hall, chapel and pub, and the settlement’s cottages and 19th‑century touches give a sense of the rural history that shapes community life in central Wales.
