Wye Valley Walk - North section

Winding valleys and the wild Cambrian Mountains saturate this half of the Wye Valley Walk with spectacular scenery. It’s the perfect trail for anyone more interested in the open moorland of Mid-Wales, where red kites might be spotted wheeling overhead, or the lush farmland and rugged hills on the way to Llangurig.

The route’s crowning glory is arguably Plynlimon, the highest point in the Cambrian Mountains and the source of the Wye river. Here, you’ll spy the five heads of Plynlimon and see out across Wales all the way to the coastline on a clear day.
