Meifod, formerly also created Meivod, is a tiny town, area as well as electoral ward 7 miles north-west of Welshpool in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales, on the A495 road and also located in the valley of the River Vyrnwy. The River Banwy has a confluence with the Vyrnwy approximately 2 miles to the west of the village. 57% of the population of Meifod were born in England. Nevertheless, this is not by itself evidence of any type of large-scale migration from England; it may just reflect the choice of local moms and dads for using larger health centers extra comfortably located in neighboring Shropshire for delivering. The UK Census 2001 revealed that some 38% of the population (1,322) over 3 years old had some understanding of the Welsh language with almost 20% able to talk, check out and also write in Welsh. The Meifod valley organized the National Eisteddfod in 2003 and 2015.
