About Newtown

Newtown (Y Drenewydd in Welsh) holds the distinction of being the largest town in Powys, situated on the banks of the River Severn in the heart of Mid Wales. Despite its name suggesting recent origins, Newtown has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was established as a market town by Edward I. Its strategic location on the river made it an important crossing point and trading center.

The town is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Robert Owen, the pioneering social reformer and founder of the cooperative movement. Born in Newtown in 1771, Owen's ideas on workers' rights, education, and community development have had global influence. His legacy is celebrated at the Robert Owen Museum in the town center, which houses a fascinating collection of artifacts and information about his life and work.

During the Industrial Revolution, Newtown became a significant center for the Welsh flannel industry, with numerous mills powered by the waters of the Severn. The Textile Museum, housed in one of the few remaining weaving shops, tells the story of this once-thriving industry that shaped the town's development and architecture. Many of the handsome buildings in the town center date from this prosperous period.

Modern Newtown combines its historical character with contemporary amenities. The town center features a mix of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants alongside national retailers. The Oriel Davies Gallery is one of Wales' most important contemporary art venues, hosting changing exhibitions throughout the year. For performing arts, Theatr Hafren offers a diverse program of drama, music, and dance.

The surrounding countryside provides abundant opportunities for outdoor recreation. The Severn Way walking path follows the river through the town and beyond, while nearby attractions include Gregynog Hall with its beautiful gardens and arts program. The Montgomery Canal, currently undergoing restoration, offers pleasant towpath walks and the chance to observe diverse wildlife.

Newtown enjoys good transport connections for a rural town, situated on the A483/A489 cross-Wales route. The Cambrian railway line provides services to Shrewsbury and the English rail network to the east, and to Machynlleth and the Welsh coast to the west. The town also serves as a hub for local bus services connecting to surrounding villages and towns.
