Berriew Village

After you’ve settled in at the Lion Hotel, why not start to explore untouched Berriew, one of the most charming villages on the Welsh borders?

 
"Old black and white half-timbered buildings line the River Rhiew,
which winds its way through the village, with the Montgomeryshire Canal
crossing above both Rhiew & roadway"
 
Past winner of the ‘Best Kept Village in Wales’ award, Berriew offers a retreat away from the pressures of everyday life, yet is within easy reach of the main border towns and the Midlands motorway network. The Snowdonia National Park and the coast are also only an hour or so away.
 
Berriew - the village with its very own saint

The settlement’s origins go back into the mists of time. There are even faint traces of ancient stone circles. We do know that at the beginning of the 17th century, a prince of Powys gave the township to Saint Beuno to establish a church, from where he travelled throughout North Wales.
