Glyndwr's Way

Follow in the footsteps of Owain Glyndwr, the 15th century Welsh warrior Prince who fought against English domination, on this 133 mile National Trail through the heart of Wales. From the English borders you walk into this historical region through a myriad of enchanting landscapes from moorland to ancient forests.

The walk starts in the market town of Knighton heading north west to the ancient capital of Machynllerth and then east to finish beside the Montgomery Canal in Welshpool.

The route takes in the best of ancient Wales affording a chance to experience traditional villages amongst rich farmland sheltering in the shadow of the rolling hills alongside the wild landscapes of the surrounding mountains and woodlands. Passing the ruins of skirmishes made by Glyndwr during his rebellion against English rule, you will also get to experience the delights of the local flora and fauna

  • Magnificent Powis Castle
  • The views across the beautiful Dyfi Valley to the spectacular Cader Idris mountain
  • Meeting other walkers also discovering this wonderful region
