Overview

The walk straddles the borders between Wales and England. Field paths, country lanes and a short walk along Offa`s Dyke. We cross the River Camlad, the only river which flows from England into Wales . There are good views of the Welsh Hills around this Vale of Montgomery. There is almost no climbing except over approximately 8 stiles.
