A walking holiday tracing the history of Owain Glyndŵr through the spectacular landscape of Mid Wales.
From £485 per person
Glyndŵr's Way winds through some of the finest scenery in Wales. Named after Owain Glyndŵr, the Welsh prince who led an ill-fated rebellion against English rule in the early 15th century, the trail visits many of the sites connected with his campaign for an independent Welsh nation. Beginning in the old market town of Knighton on the English border, Glyndŵr's Way enjoys a landscape of rich farmland, rounded hills, quiet forests, gentle riverbanks and hidden valleys, with excellent, far-reaching views throughout.
As well as many friendly settlements, Glyndŵr's Way boasts a wealth of fascinating history to discover, with landmarks of interest including the ruins of Abbey Cwmhir and the magnificent Powis Castle.
