Overview

Glyndŵr’s Way is a 135 mile (217 Km) long National Trail meandering through mid-Wales. The Trail is named after Owain Glyndŵr, Prince of Wales and Medieval Welsh nationalist leader who organised a rebellion against the English king, Henry IV in 1400. Our linear walk today follows a 9 mile section of the Way through the quiet countryside between the village of Glantwymyn (Cemmaes Road) and Machynlleth, where Owain Glyndŵr held his parliament. This varied route follows paths and tracks across rolling farmland, over rough grassland and through woodland, with short sections on lanes and a roadside pavement. Weather permitting, we will be able to enjoy wonderful views towards the mountains of Snowdonia. (Includes two fairly steep ascents).
