HEART OF WALES LINE WALKING WEEKEND

HEART OF WALES LINE WALKING WEEKEND
On this weekend we explore the Heart of Wales Trail, a relatively new long-distance route established to run alongside the Heart of Wales train, one of the countries most picturesque rail lines running through the beautiful mid-Wales countryside.

The hotel is a slight departure for an Ads Ventures weekend as this a family run Inn in the quirky town of Llanwrtyd Wells, home to iconic events such as the Man vs Horse race and the World Bog Snorkelling Championships. More relevant to us is its setting in the Cambrian Mountains which with their endless open spaces and spectacular hills are famed for walking. Rooms are all individual and have ensuite bathrooms and tea and coffee making facilities. There is a traditional bar (with real ale!) to relax in at the end of our walks, and a restaurant with a good reputation for food where we will take our meals.

Friday 27th June to Sunday 29th June
£225 per person includes:

• Ensuite double or twin share room on a half board basis.

Or, if you are booking on your own, I can pair you with someone of the same sex to share.

Builth Wells to Llangammarch Wells
Today we take the bus from Llanwrtyd Wells to Builth Wells where we pick up the Heart of Wales Trail. We first rise up over the shoulder of Molfre for views down over the secluded Cneiddon Valley and from there skirt Mynydd for spectacular views across to the Cambrian Mountains (weather permitting). We then drop down to Llangammarch Wells and its station to return to Llanwrtyd Wells on the Heart of Wales line.

Circular to Sugar loaf from Llanwrtyd Wells.
Today we walk from Llanwrtyd Wells in the direction of Sugar Loaf Halt for stupendous views over what is probably one of the loveliest parts of this long-distance trail. After taking in views of Sugar Loaf we drop down to walk through the top edge of Crychan Forest before returning to Llanwrtyd Wells.
