Walking Routes

We're so proud of our Mid Wales countryside and coast that we know will inspire you to consider car-free options for a day trip or longer stay. Just park the car and explore our fantastic country by train, cycle or on foot.

You may decide to travel by train to a selected point, then walk a section of the beautiful Wales Coast Path or one of the many circular trails from stations along the Heart of Wales Line or the Cambrian / Cambrian Coast Line before heading back home on a train.

If you want to explore on foot, we have three long distance walking trails: Glyndwr's Way National Trail, Offa's Dyke Path and Wales Coast Path.

For shorter trails we have many forest walks, nature reserves and town trails to explore.
