Things to do:

Pat and Geoff are both keen walkers and love the Knighton area. After living here for over 20 years, we have extensive local knowledge of Knighton and nearby towns such as Ludlow, Presteigne, Clun and Bishop's Castle. We are always pleased to discuss interesting places to visit, as well as to recommend restaurants and pubs.

Local walks: In addition to Offa's Dyke and Glyndwr's Way, there are many other footpaths providing a wide variety and standard of local walks. Many of these walks are possible from the doorstep. We have produced a brochure with 30 of our favourite local walks. We enjoy introducing our guests to these walks and provide written directions and maps for each walk.

Cycle routes: The area is perfect for cycling; the roads are quiet and there are many off-road tracks. From meandering valley to challenging 'switchback', there are routes to suit all abilities. Knighton is a national 'Cycle Break Centre' with five well-documented routes; it's the start and finish of the 'Radnor Ring' (185km) and on Regional Route 25 and National Cycle Route 8.
