Llanymynech Wharf and Montgomery Canal

Highlight • Historical Site

The border between England and Wales runs right through the heart of Llanymynech along its main street — literally splitting the village in two. The border runs right down the middle of the now-closed Lion pub and, according to folklore, when Montgomeryshire was dry, it was legal to drink alcohol on Sundays in the two English bars but not the Welsh bar. The Montgomery Canal also passes through Llanymynech.

St Peter's Church, Melverley

Highlight • Religious Site

You certainly don't see many black and white timber-framed churches around and this is a remarkable example in a picturesque setting. One of just 27 such churches in England, St Peter's stands on the banks of the River Severn in Melverley and is the oldest. Built at the beginning of the 15th century, it replaced an earlier church that burnt down.

The Royal Hill

Highlight • Restaurant

This wonderful little gem of a pub is open on Monday lunchtime (unlike many in the area). A warm welcome, excellent real ale and tasty, reasonably priced food await the visitor. Highly recommended!
