About

A walk from Machynlleth to Montgomery, two historic and significant towns.

Following a mix of public rights of way, including two of our fantastic National Trails (Glyndwr’s Way and Offa’s Dyke Path) country lanes and the meandering Montgomery Canal. Along the way passing through characterful communities and the settlements of Staylittle, Trefeglwys, Caersws, Newtown and Abermule.

The Rotary Clubs of Llanidloes, Machynlleth and Newtown join together to organise this very popular Mid Wales walk for people to enjoy and also to facilitate the raising of charitable funds:

The three Rotary Clubs raise funds for their own donations to local, national and international good causes.

The walkers themselves by arranging their own sponsorship, if they wish.
