About Caersws

Caersws is a village and community sitting on the River Severn, in the Welsh county of Powys, 4 miles (6.4 km) miles west of Newtown, and halfway between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury. At the 2001 census it had a population of 1,526. The name Caersws means 'fort of Sws'. The prefix is the Welsh 'Caer' meaning fort and it has been suggested that Swswen was an ancient queen from Roman times. The village is the location of two Roman forts of Roman Wales. These may be Mediomanum, 'the central fist' of the Ravenna Cosmography, although this is disputed. Caersws has a railway station on the Cambrian Line from Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury. The Welsh romantic poet John Ceiriog Hughes was stationmaster and Manager of the Van Railway from 1868 until his death in 1887. He is buried in the churchyard at Llanwnnog.
