Glyndwr’s Way is a new National walking trail opened in 2001. It is named after Owain Glyndwr - a descendent of the royal Welsh princes. He led a rebellion against the English in the 15th century, to re-establish Welsh independence. His dream ended a few years later but still remains an icon of Welsh culture. The complete trail is 135 miles long and starts at Knighton in the Teme Valley. Crossing over to Machynlleth on the Welsh coast, before returning over the hills to Welshpool on the English Border.

This walk covers the first four sections of the trail.... …” It passes through some of the best scenery in Mid Wales”.
