Cenedlaethol Fford Glyndŵr |
Knighton to Welshpool 206km/128 miles
This scenic path through central Wales visits many sites associated with the 15th century hero Owain
Glyndŵr. The route is shaped roughly like a triangle, running from
Welshpool southwest to Machynlleth before turning southeast to Knighton,
with the third side of the triangle formed by Offa’s Dyke Path.
The route was originally established by Powys
council but has since been upgraded and
partially re-routed and reopened as a National Trail in April 2002.
