This is the start point of the Glyndลตr's Way National Trail which winds through mid-Wales and ends at Welshpool. It's not as popular a trail as Offa's Dyke which is the main reason you'll meet other hikers here in Knighton.

The poet A.E. Housman described Clun, Clunton and Clunbury as being the quietest places under the sun and it still is. Standing beneath the Norman castle, the township has attracted famous writers such as Chatwin, Forster and Osborne. Time to reflect on the walk as you are nearly there now, time for a well earned drink.

There's a railway station at Bucknell about 3 minutes walk past the Sitwell Arms pub, and the Celtic X48 bus calls at the station too(timetable is valid until December 2025) There's also the 738/740 Minsterley Motors bus to and from Knighton/Ludlow via Leintwardine with a very helpful regular driver.
