Welshpool
Welshpool is a community and area in Wales, historically in the region of Montgomeryshire, however presently provided as part of the unitary authority of Powys. The town is situated 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) from the Wales-- England boundary and also low-lying on the River Severn; its Welsh language name Y Trallwng suggests "the marshy or sinking land". Welshpool is the fourth largest community in Powys. In English it was at first known as Pool but its name was changed to Welshpool in 1835 to identify it from the English community of Poole. It has a population of 6,664 (United Kingdom Census 2011), consists of much Georgian style as well as is just north of Powis Castle. The local economy is mainly based upon farming and local market. The Smithfield Livestock Market is the largest one-day lamb market in Europe, whilst the town's industrial estates are home to numerous various types of small market. As a result of the community's little size and also population the tourist attraction of high street stores is restricted, suggesting a number of the residents are required to shop in adjoining communities like Newtown and also Shrewsbury.
