This is a very straightforward walk with very little ascent but, as most of the walking is across fields, it has glorious unimpeded views of the hills in all directions and I thought it would be an appropriate one for this time of year.

The walk is from the Montgomery Walkers are Welcome website and the details can be found at https://www.montgomery-waw.org.uk/walkers/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/WalkTrail1.pdf

The route straddles the border between Wales and England and provides wonderful views of Welsh hills all around, with almost no climbing necessary on the walk.

**Distance** 14.5km(9 miles)

**Ascent** 278m(912 feet)

**Route** Predominantly level with just one short steep descent. Field paths except for 1km tarmac estate drive and 1 km of very quiet country lane

You will cross Offa’s Dyke built, it is believed, in the 780’s to prevent the Welsh infiltrating into England. Extensive views that demonstrate the strategic positioning of Montgomery and its beautiful countryside will accompany you throughout.

A surprisingly deep river valley, carved out by glacial melt water is host to the Camlad, the only river which flows from England into Wales.

The whole area is part of the Vale of Montgomery Registered Historic Landscape of Outstanding Interest and copious information can be found on www.cpat.org.uk
