Powys is an extensive, largely upland and extremely rural county covering 2000 square miles that is about a quarter of Wales. With only one person in every 10 acres it is one of the most sparsely populated local authority areas in England and Wales. The county has tremendous landscape assets, from the dramatic mountains of the Brecon Beacons National park to the rolling hills of Radnor Forest to the Berwyn Mountains in the north and some of Britain's most spectacular river valleys, the Severn, the Wye and the Usk sweeping through its glorious scenery.
