Overview

 A 9 mile linear walk starting from Abbeycwmhir, using Glyndwr's Way to walk back to outskirts of Llanbadarn Fynndd. Abbeycwmhir is a peaceful village, home to the ruins of a Cistercian Abbey (founded in 1143) and said to the burial place of the headless body of Llewellyn ( the last native Prince of Wales). From there we use the undulating Glyndwr's Way, views are fabulous ( weather permitting).

One long, steep climb to be taken at your own pace.

Car parking is on a large layby from where a minibus will collect us at 09.20, then dropping us off at Abbeycwmhir.

Cost of transport is dependent on number of walkers, limited by capacity of minibus which is 16, if numbers exceed that there may be the possibility of arranging extra transport. To enable us to do this, booking is essential by 7th. June.
