About Newtown

Famed as being the birthplace of social reformer, Robert Owen, this market town with the sparkling River Severn running through it, still celebrates the woollen industry which brought it wealth as offering plenty of modern, global businesses too. The town attracts big names to The Hafren theatre and fine art to the Oriel Davies Gallery.
