For 135 miles the Glyndŵr's Way traverses the county of Powys in Wales. The journey takes the walker over a wealth of green hills, and past more sheep than you can shake a stick at.
In a rural area with few people, and even fewer walkers, the Glyndŵr's Way is an ideal walk to get away from the world. Or, indeed, a Royal Wedding.
It's also quite good for bizairre pubs which are stuck in some sort of 1970s timewarp too.
