This new title in our British Walking Guides series covers the 134.5-mile (216.5km) National Trail in Wales following in the footsteps of Owain Glyndŵr, the Welsh prince who led a rebellion against the English in 1400 and is now enshrined in Welsh history as a hero.
Traversing a range of open farmland and forest, it links with another National Trail, Offa’s Dyke Path, at its start in Knighton and end in Welshpool and runs through Machynlleth, the seat of Glyndŵr's Welsh parliament.
Two-way guide researched in both directions: Knighton to Welshpool and Welshpool to Knighton. Route descriptions included for both directions.
Includes 62 detailed walking maps: the largest-scale maps available – at just under 1:20,000 (8cm or 3-1/8 inches to 1 mile) these are bigger than even the most detailed maps currently available in the shops.
