Overview

From Evenjobb the Trail passes through the Woodland Trust owned site of Granner Wood. The Trail soon drops down to the River Lugg at Dolley Old Bridge with its many meanders. The next climb brings you up to Furrow and Hawthorn Hill. From here there are stunning views westwards into Radnorshire. One of Owain Glyndwr's famous battle sites can also be seen from here where he fought the English at the Battle of Pilleth, with the square clump of trees that mark the burial site of the soldiers. The final descent brings you down into Knighton and the home of the Offa's Dyke Centre.
