Top 5 Hiking Trails in Powys, Wales

July 9, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Wales' spectacular scenic rural heartland, and the site of Brecon Beacons National Park, Powys is a lush land of verdant mountain valleys, craggy caves and quirky towns. The staunchly nationalistic area offers appealing outdoors opportunities. Canter on horseback through the rugged Brecon Beacons mountain range. Walk or cycle the charming valleys. Other draws are commanding Powis Castle near Welshpool and the Centre for Alternative Technology, a sustainable development center, near Machynlleth.

Wonderful walk from Chepstow to Knighton, beautiful countryside and lovely places to stay. You are literally walking in the footsteps of history. Can be hard work, but worth the effort.

Beautiful valley. And well worth walking further than the waterfall. We did the horseshoe starting behind the back of the waterfall. But good map reading skills needed for the flat tops.
