Route 6 - Offa's Dyke

From Brecon we head north over the hills and moors near the English border, taking in the ancient border market town of Presteigne.

Here we cross the border and follow the thousand year old route of Offa’s Dyke north to Clun and it’s ruined Norman Castle.

On past Bishops Castle and towards Shrewsbury, cutting over Corndon hill we drop into a steep valley and head to the important market town of Montgomery.

From here it’s a sprint to Newton and south over some of Wales most challenging roads to the Victorian Spa town of Llandrindod Wells.

We’ll loop through the ancient remains of the Radnor forest, cutting back to another Victorian Spa at Builth, via the snaking delight that is the Hundred House Road. From Builth we cross the military ranges of the Eppynt and into Brecon past its spectacular Cathedral.
