Overview

A 6 mile walk to work of those Christmas excesses!

From Powis Castle to the canal, along tow paths and back up through the powis estate.

It is likely to be muddy and slippery down the hill so walking poles recommended

We should be back in time to take a look at the festive decorations inside the castle.

Remember to bring your National Trust card if you are a member.

Bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.
