CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Knighton (Welsh: Tref-y-clawdd [trɛvəˈklauð] or Trefyclo) is a cross-border market town and community on the River Teme, straddling the border between Powys, Wales and Shropshire, England. The Teme is not navigable in its higher reaches and the border does not follow its course exactly. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
