If you have a passion for walking, this area is tailor made for you! With an extensive network of rights of way and vast open hills to wander, Radnorshire is an ideal destination. Just a ten-minute stroll from Wild Meaodw is the Offa’s Dyke National Trail. Covering 177 miles along the historic English Welsh border, this trail attracts walkers from around the globe. We are lucky enough to have the main Offa’s Dyke Centre located only a ten-minute drive away, serving as a hub for many circular walks. Additionally there are footpaths directly from Wild Meaodw and there is an ordinance survey map in the cottage for you to use.
If you fancy peddling along the lanes, we have a route map of picturesque trails that start from the front door. If mountain biking, you can travel across miles of open hill, moorland & single tracks with buzzards & red kites soaring above. Bucknell woods (7 miles away) has a downhill track.
