The town is situated 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) from the Wales-- England border and low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng means "the marshy or sinking land". Welshpool is the 4th biggest community in Powys. In English it was originally known as Pool yet its name was altered to Welshpool in 1835 to differentiate it from the English community of Poole. It has a population of 6,664 (UK Census 2011), consists of much Georgian design and is simply north of Powis Castle. The regional economy is mostly based upon farming as well as local industry. The Smithfield Livestock Market is the largest one-day lamb market in Europe, whilst the town's industrial estates are house to numerous different sorts of small market. Due to the town's tiny dimension and population the tourist attraction of high street shops is restricted, indicating a lot of the citizens are compelled to shop in neighbouring communities like Newtown and also Shrewsbury.
