Overview

Walk climbs out of Bucknell up through mixed woodland, with distant views of Caer Carodoc and the Long Mynd from the top.

The route then continues along ridges and sheep pastures with panoramic views of mid Wales, before joining Offa's Dyke path back down towards Knighton. Fantastic views of the Knucklas viaduct and river prior to the descent towards town. We’ll visit the pub on reaching Knighton.
