Here is what the page “Hiking Glyndŵr’s Way: Follow the Trail of Wales’s Rebel Prince Owain Glyndŵr” contains. As actor Michael Sheen prepares to portray Owain Glyndŵr on stage, there is renewed interest in the 14th-century Welsh rebel who led a fierce revolt against English rule. Glyndŵr’s Way, a 135-mile (217km) national trail named in his honour, offers hikers a peaceful journey through the Welsh countryside he once defended.
Starting near Knighton on the English border, the route winds through rolling hills, forests, and historic towns, passing landmarks tied to the prince’s legacy. Our writer, accompanied by a terrier named Stevie, begins the walk near Knucklas, where a medieval castle ruin reveals a curious history: its stones were plundered to build a railway viaduct in the 1860s, with crenellated towers added as a nod to the original structure.
