Local Attractions

The biggest local attraction is the countryside. The Castle Inn is set in the Teme valley in Mid-Wales on the border with England. It is in the heart of the most beautiful walking, cycling and driving country.

We are around a mile from the Offas Dyke National trail, www.nationaltrail.co.uk/offasdyke/ . It is the only national trail to follow a man-made feature. Built by Offa, King of Mercia in 757 to 796 AD the dyke formed the boundary between England and Wales. It runs for 182 fantastic miles and makes excellent walking in sections. The Castle Inn offers drop off and pick up facilities for anyone who wishes to take up the challenge.

We are also about a mile from another National Trail, Glyndwrs Way, www.nationaltrail.co.uk/glyndwrsway. Its name derives from the early 15th Century folk hero Owain Glyndwr, who won significant battles close to the route and who held a welsh parliament in Machynlleth. Glyndwrs Way begins about 2.5 miles away in Knighton, where it links with the Offas Dyke path. Running for 132 miles in a giant horse-shoe, it passes small market towns and quiet villages.

The Jack Mytton way long distance path also starts about a mile from the village and is suitable for cyclists and horses as well as walkers.

The Radnor Ring passes through the village. This is an 86 mile long circular cycle route passing through the heart of Mid-Wales.

Knucklas Castle is a short uphill stroll from the pub and though none of the structure remains, it affords panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
