Radnorshire

'Visit our fabulous flagship nature reserve - the farm time forgot! ... Follow the walking trails through meadows peppered with anthills, look out over the valley with its glorious views and spot a dipper on the River Marteg as it tumbles down through the reserve and over the waterfalls ...'

'Explore the beautiful Welsh Marches, historic market towns and pretty villages with one of the self guided maps.'

'The purpose of the Trail is to improve access to the Elan Valley and its countryside, particularly for the less-able. The trail between Craig Gooch and Pen y Garreg is classed as a bridleway. The rest of the route however is a permissive route agreed by the landowners, namely Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Radnorshire Wildlife Trust and Powys County Council and does not follow a right of way.' However, the Leaping Stiles Website where this Trail was described could no longer be referenced. So I have referenced an alternative Trail.

'It begins at Knighton on the English border and meanders through the open moorland, rolling farmland, woodland and forest of Mid Wales, through the town of Machynlleth, which was the capital of Wales in 1404, finishing by the Montgomeryshire Canal in Welshpool.'

'The trail takes you around the town to 12 different boards, each board highlighting key buildings and their architectural features. Each board also relates some of the town's history.'

Six walks around and about the local bus Route 41, operated by Sargeants: 1 - Walton to Kington; 2 - Titley to Kington; 3 - Presteigne to Kington; 4 - Norton to Knighton; 5 - Knucklas to Knighton; 6 - Five Turnings to Knighton. ALERT These specific Walks no longer seem to be promoted on the (re-engineered) 'Shropshire Walking' Website - but you might be able to download details from the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail or Car Free Walks Websites.

'The Town Trail is intended to give the visitor a taste of this historical and architectural heritage which still exists largely intact, and to introduce the quiet character of this unspoilt and picturesque town.'

'Walk through quiet walking country with breathtaking views over patchwork fields and the Wye Valley.'
