Hillscape caters for those who feel that
large groups detract from the quietness of the hills, and
who prefer to explore by themselves. We provide maps and our
own regularly updated directions for 40 trails, ranging from
5 to 20 miles in length. Most are circular, and over a
quarter start on footpaths leading straight from the house;
several are suitable for those with little previous
experience.
The walking ranges from easy rambling to
strenuous hillwalking, and from exhilarating coast paths to
open mountains and moorland. In between is a varied
landscape of wide grassy ridges with breathtaking views
across Wales, and deep valleys hung with ancient oak
woodlands. Our exclusive routes will take you on uncrowded
footpaths to hidden waterfalls, forgotten valleys,
little-frequented summits and the sparkling waters of lonely
mountain pools; or along the historic tracks of monks and
drovers into the heart of the Welsh hills. Several of our
walks use stretches of the Cambrian Way long-distance
footpath.
For those who prefer something gentler, we
have woodland and forest walks, field paths, and quiet
narrow lanes where wild flowers abound; the historic Hafod
Estate, with its network of eighteenth-century paths, is
only 2 miles away. The Mid Wales countryside is green and
peaceful, and has remained relatively free from the ravages
of modern intensive agriculture. Small sheep farms dominate
the landscape, and the pace of life is unhurried.
Whatever your fitness level, you can earn
