Covering: Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Ludlow, Welshpool, Newtown, Aberystwyth and the rest of the SY postcode area.
The local landmark: Shrewsbury's black and white Tudor streets sit inside a tight loop of the River Severn, watched over by its red sandstone castle.
Students: Aberystwyth University anchors the coastal end of the area, with seafront halls and student houses across the town.
On the ground: Timber-framed town houses up narrow Shrewsbury passages, market town terraces and long single-track lanes serving farms across the Welsh borders. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Aberystwyth students travel between the coast and London at either end of term, while the Marches market towns draw retirees out of the capital.
While you wait for the van: Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury in 1809 and went to school in the town long before he boarded the Beagle.
