Glyndŵr's Way

Glyndŵr's Way, one of Britain's National Trails, is a 220 kilometre, 135 mile long distance walk through the green hills of Mid Wales, which takes about 9 days to walk. Named after Owain Glyndŵr, a Welshman who fought the English several centuries ago, much of it is across fields with sheep, and less often cows. The path also crosses moorland among heather and bracken, and woodland and forestry plantations. I walked the route in November when there were a number of rainy days, but most people enjoy it in summer when the weather is better and there is less mud. Much of the route is on quiet, single lane roads, farm tracks, forestry gravel roads, and paths. Although the hills are not as high as some, the trail repeatedly goes up and down them, giving significant total ascents each day, and the effort required should not be underestimated. Knighton, Llanidloes, Machynlleth and Welshpool, are the attractive towns on the route, their centres lined with older buildings, with small shops, the occasional clock tower, and multiple pubs with blackened beams. Pubs in the larger villages are worth visiting for their local character. Each end of the trail is close to Offa's Dyke path, another National Trail, which can be used to create a circular route.
There are accommodation options for each night although it is advisable to book ahead. Waymarks are frequent, an acorn and a two legged dragon are both used to mark the route, however, a GPS is useful particularly when crossing large fields, as it can be difficult to see where you should be heading.
