Hope House Way

Ceredigion, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, Herefordshire, Powys, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Wrexham

555 km / 345 miles
The Hope House Way was originated and developed by Graham Leddington, Terry Blayney and David Goodson, all members of the Rotary Club of the Wrekin. The route has been devised to cover, as near as possible, all of the counties and areas served by Hope House Children’s Respite Hospice, a registered charity situated near Oswestry.

The route, both varied in terrain and rich in history, takes in Ironbridge, Ludlow, Hay on Wye, Builth Wells, Rhayader, Devil’s Bridge, Machynlleth, Dinas Mawddwy, Bala, Llangollen, Craignant, Montgomery, All Streetton and Cressage before returning to Wellington. The walk goes via Wenlock Edge and Ludlow then mid-Wales. From near Presteigne the route coincides with the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail through Kington to reach Hay-on-Wye. From here it follows the Wye Valley Walk up to Rhayader. Then along the Elan Valley and on to Devil's Bridge, and then Machynlleth. It returns by Cadair Idris, the Arans and the Berwyn Mountains, Welshpool and on to Montgomery using part of the Offa’s Dyke Path.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2023:
Part of the route of this LDP is closed in Hafod Estate, Ceredigion, for six weeks from 10th October 2023 for tree felling. Hafod's map at https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/hafod-estate shows a version of the closures.

JANUARY 2024: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, east of LLangollen, will be closed between 2nd January and 15th March 2024 for essential maintenance work. During this period there will be no access to either the towpath or the canal itself. The Hope House Way will need to use the B5434 alongside the aqueduct as an alternative.
UPDATE March 8th 2024:The Canal & River Trust say that the aqueduct (and towpath) will re-open on schedule by March 15th 2024.
