Wales is expanding its network of scenic walking routes with the upcoming launch of two new trails.

This extensive route winds through natural reserves, woodlands, and historic landscapes, offering a deep dive into Wales's past and present.
The Teifi Valley Trail is designed for flexibility, completable in approximately eight days or divided into three manageable sections. The first section covers 31 miles over three days, leading walkers to historic sites like Strata Florida monastery. The second section spans 22 miles over two days, traversing market towns and floodplains.
The final 3-day stretch of the Teifi Valley Trail will guide hikers past landmarks such as Newcastle Emlyn Castle and Teifi River Gorge, culminating at the picturesque Poppit Sands. This trail emphasizes a rural, pastoral setting combined with natural beauty and a rich industrial heritage.
