The Glyndŵr’s Way National Trail offers some of Mid-Wales` finest scenery, ranging from rolling hills, woodland and country lanes to open hill and mountain. The 135-mile (217km) Trail offers something for everyone, from those seeking long distance walking to day or weekend visitors.
Glyndŵr’s way Way was granted National Trail status in millennium year 2000. Its enigmatic name derives from the early fifteenth century folk hero Owain Glyndwr, who won significant battles close to the route and who held a Welsh Parliament in Machynlleth. With Offa`s Dyke Path and the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, it makes up the third National Trail in Wales.
Glyndŵr’s Way begins in Knighton, on the English border, where it links with the celebrated Offa`s Dyke Path. Running in a giant horse-shoe, it passes small market towns and quiet villages, traversing Wales to Machynlleth near the Dyfi estuary and back again across Wales to Welshpool, close to the English border.
Further details can be found online at the Glyndwrs Way website and a range of guides, maps and leaflets are available from Machynlleth TIC
