Berwyn Real Estate
Berwyn is one of Alberta's smaller incorporated towns, sitting in the Peace Country about 470 km northwest of Edmonton near the town of Peace River. The surrounding Mackenzie County agricultural landscape is some of Alberta's finest northern farmland — the long summer daylight hours and fertile black soil produce exceptional grain crops, and the Peace Country agricultural identity runs deep in Berwyn's character.
