Overview

Our route from Meifod crosses the river Vyrnwy and then follows the line of wooded hills beyond. These were the sites of hill forts and settlements. We will have a choice of return routes – either by the Cross Britain Way or along the river, depending on ground conditions. We will use several sections of Glyndwr’s Way en route.

Bring refreshments for coffee and lunch stops.
