The go-to, all-in-one guide to walking Glyndŵr's Way, one of Wales' most historic and scenic long-distance trails, tracing the footsteps of the legendary Welsh leader.

Glyndŵr's Way is a 135-mile (217 km) National Trail through mid-Wales, tracing the historic footsteps of Owain Glyndŵr, the leader of a Welsh rebellion against the English in 1400. The route begins in Knighton, where it connects with the Offa's Dyke Path, and finishes in Welshpool, crossing a mix of open farmland, rolling hills, and forested landscapes.
