Glyndwr's Way Cicerone Guidebook

Description

This Cicerone walking guidebook covers the Glyndwr's Way in a loop from Knighton via Machynlleth to Welshpool, passing rolling hills, forests and moorland of Mid Wales. This Glyndwr's Way long-distance National Trail is 135 miles long.

This guidebook divides the 135 mile trail into 9 day stages, starting at Knighton and ending at Welshpool. After day 4 there is an optional ascent of Pumlimon Fawr, which will require an extra day. Days 10 and 11 follow the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail back to Knighton for those who prefer a circular route.

The step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by OS map extracts (1:50,000), photographs and lots of information on facilities available and historical points of interest along the way. The Glyndwr's Way is clearly waymarked throughout and there is accommodation available at the end of every stage that is listed in full at the back of the guide to make planning easier. The trail commemorates the Welsh leader Owain Glyndwr, visiting landmarks such as Powis Castle and Glyndwr's Parliament House at Machynlleth, as well as other historical and archeological sites.

This is the revised 3rd edition of this guidebook that was published in February 2024.
