Great Montgomery walk on Offa

Walkers in Powys have a great opportunity next month to explore the lovely countryside around historic Montgomery.

Castle Views on Offa is the next walk in Powys County Council’s Trail Tempters programme and takes place around the county town on Saturday July 13.

The walk will take participants through the remnants of ridge and furrow farming from the Middle Ages, up onto the Offa’s Dyke Path and through the Lymore Park Estate.

This moderate-graded walk is three miles in length with five stiles on route, includes a gradual incline up to Offa’s Dyke and should take three hours to complete. There will also be an opportunity afterwards to look around the castle and town and try out the local cafes or pubs.

Places must be booked by calling 01597 827567 before July 12. For more information on other walks in the Trail Tempters programme visit www.powys.gov.uk/guidedwalks.

The Trail Tempters programme is organised by the council’s Countryside Services Team.
