The footpath officially begins in Knighton, on the English border, where it links withOffa's Dyke Path. Running in roughly a horseshoe shape, it passes small market towns such asLlanidloes and quiet villages includingAbbeycwmhir andLlanbadarn Fynydd, traversing centralmid-Wales to Machynlleth near theDyfi estuary and returning across Wales viaLlanbrynmair,Llangadfan andLake Vyrnwy and the valley of theRiver Vyrnwy toWelshpool 4 miles (6.4 km) from theWales–England border.

The route passes nationally important Welsh natural habitats such assessile oak woodlands, upland mire andheath, and ancient hedgerows. The area fromStaylittle toAberhosan is noted for its heather moorlands.^[1]
