 Glyndwr's Way is a 128 mile (206km) route that runs through some of the finest scenery in Mid Wales. It is named after Owain Glyndwr, the famous Welsh warrior/statesman renowned for his struggle against the English during the early 15th Century, who came close to establishing a united and independent Welsh nation. Glyndwr's Way passes close to the sites of many incidents of the rebellion. The route starts in Knighton where it links with the Offa's Dyke path before heading into the Radnorshire Hills. It winds northwards to Machynlleth (were Glyndwr held his Parliament as 'Prince of Wales') and then back eastwards to Welshpool where it is possible to rejoin the Offa's Dyke path and so make a complete circuit. The route actually passes right through Brandy House Farm about 15 miles from the start making this an ideal place for your first night's stop. |

Brandy
House Farm is an ideal base from which to walk the borderlands of
England and Wales and discover this little-explored area of rural
Britain steeped in history and tradition. The opportunities for walking
are endless. Take the long route into the village (about half an hour
through ancient oak woods) or spend several days hiking. Together with
several national trails within a day's walk (Glyndwr's Way, Kerry
Ridgeway, Jack Mitton Way and Offa's Dyke) there are miles and miles of
footpaths just waiting to be explored. Few of the paths are waymarked
and you do need to be able to read a map if you want to really discover
the surrounding countryside. You are unlikely to meet other walkers and
will find the countryside quiet and
unspoiled with abundant
