Overview

The Glyndwr's Way National Trail (www.nationaltrail.co.uk/GlyndwrsWay/index.asp?PageId=1) is named after Owain Glyndwr, the famous Welsh Warrior/Statesman who fought a campaign for an independent Welsh nation in the early 15th century. The route starts in Knighton on the English border, making its way through tremendous scenery to Machynlleth, where Owain Glyndwr held his parliament in 1404.

Knighton

The market town of Knighton is where the Glyndwr's Way National Trail begins. The clock tower in the town centre marks the official starting point. Situated on the banks of the River Teme, Knighton is both in England and Wales. The town is steeped in history, and you can see this by the half-timbered 17th century buildings lining the narrow, winding streets.
