WALES Montgomery - Town, Castle and Town Hill

Formerly the county town of Montgomeryshire, Montgomery is now part of Powys. The 2011 census listed the population at just 1295 people - nonetheless there are a few shops in the square (Broad Street). As well as a convenience store there is a Post Office, chip shop and one or two others. Just one mile inside the border with England it is a quiet and rather sleepy little town, mainly due to being off the beaten track
Those feeling fit can take a shortish if slightly stiff climb to the Castle, or alternatively just use the car (NB: the car park gets locked at around 6pm, so best check before you leave it there!)
From the Castle there is another rather pleasant ramble to the top of Town Hill where the monument is to be found - I think its official name is something like 'County War Memorial'. There are superb views to be found from here. You will however notice that the monument seems designed for some adornment atop of it, and puzzlingly there isn't anything

I live in Montgomery it's a lovely town and there's hardly any talk about it when visiting Wales and that's quite sad in my opinion
