MThis is a day of rest, really. The going is easy over flat terrain, but lovely farming country nonetheless. A portion of the path follows an old Roman road. The highlight is the Beacon Ring Settlement, a half-mile circular earthwork high on a hill that dates to the Iron Age. Then there's a descent into Buttington and a stretch of the Montgomery Canal towpath ending at the Pool Quay locks. A side trip can take you into Welshpool and a visit to the Powis Castle. |
