This guide contains 25 leisurely walks ranging from 2 to 9 miles. They stretch from the foothills of southern Snowdonia to the fascinating spa towns of Powys and the spectacular Ceredigion coast. Stroll beside the Montgomery Canal on a walk to Powis Castle or explore the countryside around the historic small towns of Dolgellau, Machynlleth, Llanidloes, Tregaron, Lampeter and Rhayader. Climb low hills on a circuit of the scenic Caban Coch reservoir in the Elan Valley and watch for the rare red kite. Follow a cliff path from the enchanting village of Llangranog to the spectacular promontory of Lochtyn and enjoy other coastal walks. Take walks from Aberystwyth, climb to Bearded Lake from pretty Aberdyfi, or walk through wooded Cwm Rheidol from Devil's Bridge. These are just a selection of the walks in this guide which explore the varied countryside of Mid Wales. Some walks visit castles, churches and other historic sites. Tea shops are in a variety of locations and many are in historic buildings ranging from Powis Castle and the Pump Room at Llandrindod Wells Spa to a former school. Clear directions, sketch maps, photographs and notes on local history are included.
