Abermule is a village in mid Wales, near the River Severn.

The village has one primary school - Abermule CP School; previously called Dolforwyn CP School - a village shop, a caravan park, a growing number of new houses and two pubs: The Abermule Hotel and Waterloo Arms.

A few miles away from the village are the remains of Dolforwyn Castle, the only castle built by the last Prince of Gwynedd, Llewelyn ap Gruffydd.

The village was the site of the Abermule train collision on 26 January 1921, which killed 17 passengers, including the Cambrian Railways chairman, Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest of Machynlleth.


[edit] Railways

Abermule was also the junction for a short branch railway to Kerry closed in 1956.
