Mid Wales is the quiet heart of the country — remote, open, and unshaped by haste. It’s a region of deep valleys, broad moors, and hidden rivers, where walkers move through solitude, sky, and silence. There are fewer signs, fewer people, and more room to walk your own way.
This is the land of the Cambrian Mountains, the Elan Valley, and highland farms stitched into the hillsides. Ancient trackways crisscross heath and forest, and the walking here is not just beautiful — it’s elemental. It’s where you go to walk not to see, but to feel.
Sometimes called the “green desert of Wales,” this remote upland region offers vast moorland, deep quiet, and challenging, soul-stirring trails.
Follow paths beside Victorian dams, wooded riverbanks, and wildflower meadows. These walks blend human story and natural stillness.
Explore rolling uplands and remote ridgelines on one of Wales’ great national trails. Named after Owain Glyndŵr, it winds through some of the least-visited — and most rewarding — walking country in Britain.
