Powys

Mountains, Valleys, Moorland, and Historic Routes

From the Cambrian Mountains and Elan Valley to rolling hills, river valleys, and open moorland, Powys contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, water, and centuries of history. Trails such as Glyndŵr's Way, the Cambrian Way, Wye Valley Walk, and Severn Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including the Cambrian Mountains, Elan Valley, Brecon Beacons National Park, and the upper reaches of the River Wye showcase some of Wales' most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through upland terrain, woodland, farmland, river corridors, reservoirs, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of Powys for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of the county while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
