Llanfair Caereinion is a compact market town and community in Powys, Wales, sitting in the valley of the River Banwy and encircled by rolling Montgomeryshire farmland and gentle hills. It has medieval roots visible in its parish church of St Mary and a small historic centre of stone buildings that hint at its market-town past, a short drive from Welshpool.
The local economy still leans on agriculture - sheep and upland farming remain important - complemented by small shops, cafes and tourism, notably the preserved steam services of the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway. Social life is lively for a place of its size, with community groups, sports clubs and annual events, and a bilingual character reflecting both Welsh and English influences.
