Garthmyl lies within the civil community of Berriew, a village of 283 residents in Powys, Wales. The locality is part of a small cluster that also includes Garthmyl Hall and Refail, and the area is noted for its collection of architecturally significant buildings. The village sits within the SY 15 postcode district, placing it in the western part of the Montgomery area.

The canal’s presence provides a picturesque setting for the community and a tangible link to the area’s industrial heritage. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy walking or cycling along its towpaths, and the canal’s banks offer scenic views that enhance the rural character of Garthmyl.
