Glyndŵr’s Way was inaugurated as a National Trail in 2002, having existed as a less official route since the late 1970s. It is generally a tougher route than Offa’s Dyke Path, especially on its northern section. The total length is 220km.
On the path, you will pass through woodland, farmland and upland: it is a very quiet — and in places rugged and remote — route.
