Meifod
Meifod, formerly also created Meivod, is a small town, area and also electoral ward 7 miles north-west of Welshpool in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales, on the A495 road as well as situated in the valley of the River Vyrnwy. The River Banwy has a confluence with the Vyrnwy about two miles to the west of the town. 57% of the population of Meifod were born in England. Nevertheless, this is not by itself evidence of any kind of massive immigration from England; it might simply mirror the preference of local moms and dads for using larger hospitals a lot more comfortably located in neighboring Shropshire for delivering. The United Kingdom Census 2001 revealed that some 38% of the population (1,322) over 3 years old had some expertise of the Welsh language with almost 20% able to speak, review and write in Welsh. The Meifod valley hosted the National Eisteddfod in 2003 as well as 2015.
