Welshpool
Welshpool is a community as well as area in Wales, traditionally in the county of Montgomeryshire, however currently carried out as part of the unitary authority of Powys. The community is positioned 4 miles (6.4 km) from the Wales-- England boundary and also low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng indicates "the marshy or sinking land". Welshpool is the 4th largest town in Powys. In English it was at first referred to as Pool however its name was altered to Welshpool in 1835 to distinguish it from the English town of Poole. It has a population of 6,664 (United Kingdom Census 2011), consists of much Georgian architecture and is just north of Powis Castle. The local economic situation is mainly based upon farming as well as local market. The Smithfield Livestock Market is the biggest one-day lamb market in Europe, whilst the town's industrial estates are residence to various various types of tiny market. Due to the community's tiny size as well as population the tourist attraction of high street stores is restricted, suggesting many of the residents are forced to shop in neighbouring towns like Newtown as well as Shrewsbury.
