Abercegir: Hiking Glyndŵr's Way

The section of the path near Abercegir offers views of the Dyfi Valley and the Snowdonia National Park beyond.

Glyndŵr's Way in stages

The path runs from Machynlleth via Forge to Abercegir. Glyndŵr's Way can be walked as a series of weekend or day hikes. This division is relevant to planning your trip: you can organise your stay around a day of hiking or spread the hikes over several weekends. Consider whether you want to focus on a single stage or plan several sections as separate outings. This keeps the decision about how much to hike aligned with your own schedule.

Waymarker and distances

A waymarker near Abercegir gives the distance back to Cemmaes Road as 3¾ miles and the distance ahead to Machynlleth as 5 miles. The two figures place the named destinations in opposite directions and give you a specific reference point along the path. The direction to Machynlleth is marked as five miles, farther than the 3¾-mile return to Cemmaes Road. Use up-to-date maps for navigation. To plan your day, you can compare the signposted distance with the section you actually want to walk; a distance in miles is no substitute for planning your own timing.

River crossing and old mill

The path crosses a footbridge beside the old mill, Yr Hen Felin. The bridge and mill provide a specific landmark along the way: this is both a river crossing and a named old mill building. Along the path through Abercegir, old mills can also be seen beside fast-flowing rivers. As well as the views, this gives the hike a second, architectural dimension.

Hotel and hiking plans

When looking for a hotel for your trip to Abercegir, it helps to base your accommodation choice on the kind of hike you have planned. A single day of hiking and several stages spread over weekends call for different lengths of stay. When considering a specific offer, check whether its information about location and travel arrangements suits your plans, and keep up-to-date maps in mind for your hike. This lets you consider the section you want to walk, your journey and your accommodation as parts of one overall trip plan, without assuming that every traveller has the same requirements.
