Walks Around Knighton

Description

Exploring the attractive town of Knighton is a pleasure, making use of quiet streets, lanes and paths to find a mixture of excellent views and attractive old style cottages. A network of footpaths, bridleways, green lanes and other unsurfaced tracks can be found throughout the area, and other local routes pass the Spaceguard Centre (astromonical observatory), a number of attractive local pools, oak and mixed woodland and wooded dingles, a large prehistoric hillfort and the impressive Holloway Rocks above nearby Stowe. It is well situated in the beautiful Teme valley, between the impressive east Radnorshire and south Shropshire hills. The Heart of Wales Railway Line also passes through the town and can be used to access linear walks to and from the adjacent stations at Knucklas and Bucknell, an attractive village of half-timbered and thatched dwellings in the Redlake valley.
