Departure from Presteigne (Powys)
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
