Anyone who is reasonably fit can walk the Glyndwr's Way, although it is very hilly, often dropping into valleys and ascending hills several times in a day. You should be aware that it crosses country that is sometimes rough and remote. The ability to navigate by compass will be very welcome if it is misty.

The Trail starts at the Town Clock in Knighton on the Welsh / English border and ends at the Montgomery canal in Welshpool. This is the way most people walk it. The Offa's Dyke Path National Trail connects Welshpool and Knighton and offers a circular option for those wishing to complete the Trail as a continuous walk.

As a National Trail, the Glyndwr's Way is well signed throughout its length. You will see a distinctive acorn symbol on stiles, gates and signposts. This is the symbol used by all the English and Welsh National Trails. In addition you will see a dragon, which is the logo for the Glyndwr's Way.

Symbols on the Trail or on connecting paths, indicate whether the route can be used by vehicles, horse riders, cyclists or walkers.
