Llanidloes Walks
Llanidloes is nicely positioned for walking with waymarked trails eminating from the town in all directions. As such you are spoilt for choice with so much lovely scenery to explore.
This circular walk makes use of the Severn Way long distance trail to explore the countryside to the west of the town. There's nice views of the River Severn and the River Dulas which also runs through the little town.
Starting in the centre of town follow the waymarked path south west along Penygreen Road. You'll then cross the Severn on the Felindre Bridge and head north west past Felindre Mill. The country lane takes you along the river to Bronfelen where you turn south along a bridleway. You can then follow a nice scenic country lane past Caencoed and back into the town.
There's several other good options for extending your walking in the area. You could pick up the epic Glyndwr's Way and follow it north west to visit the beautiful Llyn Clywedog. The lake is a great place for birdwatching and also includes a spectacular dam which is the tallest concrete dam in the UK.
Also of interest are the peaceful woodland trails in nearby Hafren Forest and the Sarn Sabrina Walk which runs around the town.

Severn valley west of Llanidloes. A couple of miles west the town the Severn flood plain starts to widen out, and the initial enthusiasm of the river calms down. The river is hidden in the trees in the valley floor (obviously). The steep hillside to the left (north) is Pen y Banc.
Afon Dulas below the ford. Beautiful river scenery close to meeting point with the Severn. Relief after a dry crossing - able to continue the planned walk without diverting back to Llanidloes and starting again.
Former mill at Llanidloes, now converted into apartments. The River Severn has just been joined by Afon Dulas and is becoming a sizeable but shallow river.

The half-timbered Old Market Hall stands at the crossroads of the four streets of the original medieval town. Built around 1600, it is the only surviving building of this type in Wales. Assize courts were held in the hall around 1605, and John Wesley preached from a pulpit stone on the open ground floor in 1748.
