Glyndŵr's Way
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glyndwr's Way is a Long distance footpath in Mid Wales in the United Kingdom and is 206 km long.
Glyndwr's Way was granted National Trail status in the year 2000. Its enigmatic name derives from the early fifteenth century folk hero Owain Glyndŵr, who won significant battles close to the route and who held a Welsh Parliament in Machynlleth. With Offa's Dyke Path and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, it makes up the third National Trail.
Glyndwr's Way begins in Knighton, on the English border, where it links with Offa's Dyke Path. Running in a giant horse-shoe, it passes small market towns and quiet villages (including Abbeycwmhir), traversing Wales to Machynlleth near the Dyfi estuary and back again across Wales to Welshpool, close to the English border.
