Powys

Powys sits at the heart of rural Wales, and is known for its vast landscapes, strong agricultural sector and blossoming tourism economy. Farming dominates the area, with livestock and dairy production playing a key role in both local employment and national food supply, while traditional market towns Brecon, Newtown and Welshpool support retail and hospitality due to a range of small businesses and dining options, respectively.

Tourism is a major contributor to Powys, with the Brecon Beacons National Park drawing outdoor enthusiasts for hiking, cycling and wildlife experiences. Heritage attractions, Powis Castle and Offa’s Dyke provide further strength to the local tourism economy. Although largely rural, Powys is seeing an uptick in digital infrastructure and green energy investment – marking it as more connected and sustainable than ever before.

The property market provides everything from period cottages to modern developments, with substantial transport links in the A483 and A470 major road networks helping to improve accessibility, ensuring Powys remains a desirable place to live and work.
