Welshpool is fortunate in having two National Trails within close proximity of the Town; Offa's Dyke path runs to the East and the historically significant Glyndwr's Way completes its 132 mile trek in Welshpool. The Ann Griffiths Walk, used together with Glyndwr's Way, makes for an excellent looped walk weaving though the stunning Vyrnwy Valley.

The Severn Way and Canal Towpath also provide the opportunity for walkers to experience different natural habitats, and venture into the heart of the unspoilt rural landscape and market towns.
