Meifod is a small village and community in Powys in mid‑Wales, set among rolling farmland and river valleys a few miles north of Welshpool on the road towards Llanfyllin. The location gives it a peaceful, rural feel while still being within easy reach of larger market towns.
The village is notable for an ancient parish church with early medieval carved stones and a long history as an early Christian centre in the region. Locally there are a primary school, village hall and pub, and a strong sense of community with Welsh language and cultural activity; the economy is largely agricultural, supported by small businesses and some commuting to nearby towns, making Meifod a tranquil base with genuine historic and social interest.
