Welcome to Montgomery
The historic county town of Montgomery (Welsh: Trefaldwyn; meaning "The Town of Baldwin") is a picturesque border town set around a central square, overlooked by the castle ruins.
Lying in Mid Wales, just three miles from the English border in the Welsh Marches it is best known for the castle, Montgomery Castle, begun in 1223, and its parish church, begun in 1227. However its origins go back much further, as can be seen by the Iron Age hill fort on the edge of the town.
The castle is open, free of charge, all the year around and other attractions include The Old Bell Museum, a museum to local life, the Offa's Dyke Path, the Robber's Grave and the town wall, as well as several impressive buildings.
