The rural community of Forden, Leighton and Trelystan sits in Powys in mid-Wales, occupying gentle farmland and river meadows along the River Severn. Historically part of Montgomeryshire, the settlements cluster around small village centres and a scattering of historic farmsteads, giving a very rural character while lying close to the market town of Welshpool.
Life here is shaped by agriculture, small local businesses and a fair number of people who commute to nearby towns; the landscape attracts walkers, anglers and those who enjoy quiet lanes and churchyards with medieval roots. Community life is anchored by village halls, parish churches and occasional local events, with stone buildings and field patterns that reflect centuries of rural history.
