A walk up to and around Bradnor Hill, circuiting the highest golf course in England which affords magnificent 360 degree views over Herefordshire and Wales. This walk crosses and goes close to Kington Golf Course: be prepared to wait and give way to golfers.

A delightful easy walk around the historic town of Presteigne taking in some beautiful countryside getting very close to the local sheep / cows and we saw a couple of rabbits along the way. Part of the route follows the River Lugg (Powys) in which you can stand on a bridge with one foot in England & one foot in Wales!

A nice testing walk up some steep hills... starting as you walk north out of Presteigne on a road that the border runs along climbing up to see some fantastic panoramic views at The Warren. Once you leave the road, the ground is a bit lumpy heading east for a short distance before heading down towards The Globe woods which are a delightful view with rolling countryside. The path is well marked but with not much traffic, the flora is quite wild with bracken 6ft tall in places... Head down towards the Stapleton ruins which are not accessible to the public but a beautiful view from a distance

A little walk taking in some of Offa’s Dyke path mid Wales and some beautiful scenery Wildlife included Red Kites which were flying very close to us, a selection of Eurasian birds, rabbits & the usual sheep. The route is very well sign posted apart from the start... as you walk up the road from the start, you have to bear left along a cul-de-sac with a large barn conversion (still having works completed) on your right, head up towards the property in front of you and when you can't go any further, on your left is a driveway to a house... go through the driveway opening and turn immediately right (there is a Bridleway wooden sign but it is hidden in the overgrown hedge) and follow the boundary up to where you will see a gate. This is the path which is marked from thereon... we struggled initially to find the start of the path but the owner came out to help point us in the right direction… I’ve only given it a moderate rating as the first section is a long haul up a very steep long hill

A little easy walk taking in some of Offa’s Dyke path mid Wales and some beautiful scenery. Such an unspoilt walk / area with the entire walk. Wildlife included Red Kites which were flying very close to us, a selection of Eurasian birds, rabbits & the usual sheep which we see a lot of in this area. The route is very well sign posted over the hills… This walk is rated moderate as there are some hilly sections that can be difficult for some people.

A lovely short steep walk with some amazing panoramic views of Radnor Forest... starting off parking in New Radnor, walking up around the church, and gaining ground up a small single track road until you are greeted with a forest. Navigate west around the forest then take the stile on the right (directly after the forest) and it's straight up the steep West side of the Whimble up to 599m. Beautiful views 360 degrees around... continue East back down to the forest following the footpath (marked with wooden posts and a yellow mark / acorn), as you exit the forest, follow the path around Knowle Hill back down to the road...
