Getting there

Despite lying on a minor B road the town has, in common with several other towns close to the Wales-England border, assumed the motto, "Gateway to Wales". The town sits on the River Lugg, having nearby towns such as Kington and Knighton as neighbours, as well as surrounding villages like Norton and Stapleton.

By bus Veolia Transport Cymru provide a service (Monday to Saturday) to Kington, Herefordshire with connections from there to Hereford on services operated by Sargeants, and buses in the opposite direction to Knighton, Powys. Lugg Valley Travel provide bus links to Leominster.

By train Knighton railway station is the nearest railway station, serviced by Arriva Trains Wales.
