Getting outside and running, walking or hiking can be as easy as stepping foot outside your accommodation.
If you want uncrowded hill-walking, forest nature walks, riverside and reservoir wales then Mid Wales is the place you need to be. From the moment you arrive you'll want to get outside and see what all the fuss is about.
The Mid Wales countryside varies from open moorland, ancient oak woods and quiet riverside paths. For a quiet afternoon stroll, explore a nature trail or town trail and you'll never too far from a small market town and a cup of tea or something stronger.
Waymarked long distance trails include two National Trails - Glyndwr's Way and Offa's Dyke and the Mid Wales section of the Wales Coast Path.
If you'd like a guided walk, look at the many walking festivals and events or book a specialised guided walking holiday with a professional walking guide that really knows the area.
