Shop and post office, Penybontfawr
Although Penybontfawr is only small, it is a centre for a large rural area and supports a number of facilities including this shop and post office. The name 'Eirianfa', incidentally, is made up of an old Welsh word for beautiful coupled with 'fa', short for 'fan' meaning place.

The Railway Inn, Penybontfawr
The Tanat Valley Light railway is long gone (although there are moves afoot to rebuild it) but the pub remains as a memorial. The community of Penybontfawr (formerly known as Bont Fawr) is almost entirely 19th century in origin and grew here because of the road links to Bala, Shrewsbury and Oswestry.
