About

Founded in 1223 and granted its Royal Charter in1227, Montgomery is a medieval town which grew up at the foot of the cliff topped with the once impregnable Montgomery Castle. Formerly the County Town of Montgomeryshire, the market town is still an unspoilt and historic architectural delight for the visitor, with its medieval street layout, its fine Georgian buildings and beautiful Town.

Look out for the informative wall plaques around the Town erected by the Montgomery Civic Society.

The ’Montgumerees’ Children’s Trail

If you visit Montgomery why not have a go at tracking down some more recent residents.  The trail, (designed to replace the Town of Little Cars Trail now Cloverlands has moved to Llanfair Caereinion) features the Malwod Maldwyn, half pixie and half snail. They are a mischievous and characterful lot and can be hard to spot.

There are ten to find around the town so pick up a quiz sheet from the Library, Bunners or the Bookshop and off you go. Complete the trail and drop in your answers to the returns box outside the Library, and you could even win a prize!  Children from Montgomery School had fun testing out the new trail in between showers.
