Unwind from your daily stresses with a stroll from Knighton to Machynlleth through the rolling hills and serene farmland of Mid Wales.
Discover the quaint sleepy town of Knighton and begin your scenic trail across the bow of Wales world-famous countryside. You'll have the opportunity to soak in the sites at your own pace, spotting more birds than Bill Oddie with buzzards and red kites decorating the skies. See the skyline reach back and draw in views of Snowdonia and Cadair Idris. Verdant valleys yawn into jagged peaks and the towns dotted along the route are as welcoming as the trails are scenic.
Travel to Knighton where your first night's accommodation has been booked. Knighton is a sleepy town in the Powys on the River Teme.
Knighton to Felindre. 15 miles (24km) / 2467 ft (752 m) ascent.

Felindre to Llananno(T). 10 miles (16km) / 1709 ft (521 m) ascent.
Llananno sits slumbering as an old-town without neighbours. The medieval church is small but ornate and the locals are still a community in the old fashioned sense of the word.
Llananno(T) to Bwlch-y-Sarnau(T). 9 miles (14.5km) / 1529 ft (466 m) ascent.

Bwlch-y-Sarnau(T) to Llanidloes. 12 miles (19.5km) / 1716 ft (523 m) ascent
Llanidloes is the first town on the River Severn surrounding by forests, lakes and mountains. The Tudor style beams of The Old Market Hall are an ode to a simpler time.
Llanidloes to Dylife. 14.5 miles (23.5km) / 2697 ft (822 m) ascent.
Dylife is a former lead mining village that's not a cute stop off on this epic Welsh trek with a famous waterfall walk that's well worth the effort.
