Four Crosses is a small village in mid‑Wales, within the county of Powys, lying close to the England–Wales border and within easy reach of the market towns of Welshpool and Oswestry and the village of Llanymynech. It occupies a quiet crossroads on a main route through the borderlands and is surrounded by the rolling farmland and hedgerow country typical of this part of mid‑Wales.
The village’s name reflects its crossroads origins and its local economy remains largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Social and cultural life is modest but active, centred on community facilities and the local pub, and the area attracts walkers and cyclists interested in the border landscape and local history, where Welsh and English influences blend in everyday life.
