The Severn Way

Stage three: Llanidloes to Caersws

DATE: 15th Sept 2018

 

DISTANCE

10.25 miles (Walked)

TOTAL SO FAR: 26.75 miles

 

This section runs from the centre of Llandiloes to a carpark at the railway station in Caersws.  The most distinctive feature of this walk is that the River Severn was only seen as we crossed the Long Bridge at the start of the walk and in glimpses (2 or 3 occasions). in the distance.  We walked through woods, along roads, through pasture and sunken trackways: never by a river!  The nearest we came to any interaction with water was Toby jumping into a massive, cattle drinking trough.

 



ROUTE MAP STAGE 3

 

The A470 follows the Severn more closely than the Severn Way.

 

And once again the signage was in poor repair to non-existent.
