*************

Berriew (Welsh: Aberriw) is a village in Powys, Wales, situated on the Montgomeryshire Canal and the river Rhiw near the confluence (Welsh: aber) with the River Severn (Welsh: Afon Hafren) at grid reference SJ185005. The village has won several 'Best Kept Village' awards - although the scheme has now been discontinued.

Situated outside the village on the way to Brooks/Bettws is the village bowling green which is used regularly. The village primary school is placed towards the road leading to Castle Caereinion.

Past the Talbot pub & restaurant is the football pitch and tennis courts. There are two pubs in the village centre - the Talbot, mentioned above, and the Lion hotel. There is also the Horseshoes, a little way out of the village.

Glansevern Hall and Gardens are adjacent to the village. Glansevern Hall was built between 1801 and 1807 for Sir Arthur Davies Owen, by Joseph Bromfield. ^[1]

A golf range has been proposed and is under consideration for planning permission (July 2008).

The village post office at the corner shop, closed on Monday 20 October 2008, and a new outreach service opened in the SPAR Stores shop also in the village a day later on 21 October 2008.

Berriew is the home of Berriew Football Club.

Mirror-artist and sculptor, Andrew Logan, bought the village squash courts and converted the building into The Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture.

The church is dedicated to St.Beuno, reputed to have been born in the village.
