This is the start point of the Glyndŵr'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.

Knighton is a beautiful border market town and is unique in being the only town to sit astride Offa's Dyke national footpath. It is also notable as the starting point of Glyndwr's Way, following the route of the Welsh leader's significant battles. It is also a mecca for border cyclists and there are plenty of routes to navigate the surrounding hills and stunning countryside.

Llanfair Waterdine, also known as Llanvair Waterdine, is a pretty little Shropshire hamlet located very close to the Welsh border. Its most iconic attraction is the 15th century Welsh long house, originally built as a Drovers Inn.

Cwm-Sanaham is an elevated hilltop located near Knighton in Shropshire. From this vantage point, you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding countryside across rolling hills, meandering streams and picturesque landscapes.

An opportunity to get overwhelmed by huge amounts of info about Offa's Dyke. And go to the toilet before you set off!

Located close to the Anglo-Welsh border and skirted by Offa's Dyke, this enchanting wooded hill is dominated by larch and Douglas fir, planted in the 1950s to replenish timber stores in Britain after WWII. There's a wealth of trails and forest roads to explore on foot. It's an enjoyable place to visit at any time of year, but in the autumn the initials 'ER' appear on the wooded slopes, an arrangement planted in 1953 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's coronation.

Great stop for cyclists, good coffee, cake and lunchtime light meals. Massive selection of teas. Interesting items for sale

Before I tell you about the most amazing views on top of Cwm-Sanaham Hill, I want to explain about how I got to the trig point so that you can follow what I did. Firstly, there is a steep ascent up the hill which can be very tough, so it's best if you are prepared if you're tackling it. What I did was that I charged straight up the steep pathway to which I found myself on a very narrow ledge. You can take your time when walking up that first section of footpath. There is even a shear drop down below, so I walked along the path slowly and carefully. Secondly came the easier part, which was when I saw the trig point straight up ahead with the path still visible to follow. After I went past the narrow ledge, the path was then more grassy, which made things a lot more straightforward. There was no more drops to worry about, but instead the path was more even. Eventually, I arrived at the top of the hill where the trig point was located. I was then met with the most beautiful views I had ever seen, which stretched from Knighton all the way to nearby Knucklas and the rest of the Welsh valleys. It was also where I had my lunch, which was quite a relief after all the hill climbing I did. Cwm-Sanaham Hill is 406m high and it's the perfect vantage point to see some of the most glorious views in that part of Wales.
