The district is essentially rural, embracing the towns of Llanfair Caereinion in the west, Westbury in the east, Berriew in the south and Llandrinio in the north, and it lies athwart the north–south border between England and Wales. The main rivers are the Severn, which crosses the district from south to north through Welshpool, and its tributary the Vyrnwy, which rises to the west. The highest parts of the district are formed by Long Mountain, at Beacon Ring (408 m), the Shelve area, at the Stiperstones (502 m), and the Breidden Hills, at Moel-y-Golfa (404 m). The rest of the district is dissected hill country.
