Abermule

Abermule is a village and community in Powys, Wales, situated on the River Severn, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of Newtown. Its location is within the historic county of Montgomeryshire.

Abermule is notable for its railway station, Abermule railway station, which is located on the Cambrian Line. The station has been the site of two significant railway accidents. The first, in 1905, involved a collision between two passenger trains. The second, in 1921, also involved a collision. These events are significant in the history of railway safety in Wales.

The village also contains amenities such as a primary school, a public house, and local businesses catering to the surrounding rural community. The economy of the area is largely based on agriculture. The community council for Abermule is responsible for local governance and represents the interests of the village.

Abermule's name derives from the Welsh aber, meaning "confluence" or "river mouth," and mule, a word of uncertain origin, possibly a personal name or a descriptive term related to the river or landscape.
