Welshpool on the television

Welshpool and its breathtaking surroundings will be the star of the show on this Friday’s edition of BBC Wales’s Weatherman Walking.

Presenter Derek Brokway spent considerable time in the area filming the show late last year and it will be aired at 7.30pm.

One or two local characters are likely to feature, including the curator of the Powysland Museum Eva Bredsdorff (pictured with Derek).

Expect to see Powis Castle heavily featured along with a walk along the Montgomery canal and back to town.

The show will undoubtedly share what we have known all along… that the Welshpool area is a wonderful place to call home!
