Fantastic views from the tops - especially at Hopesay Common and Holloway Rocks. A hilly route mainly on grassy, waymarked long-distance paths with a little quiet lane walking. Rough and muddy in places, with a fair few stiles. Around 2, 500ft of ascent including two long and steep climbs. Mostly follows the Heart of Wales Line Trail; passes through hamlets such as Aston on Clun, Clunbury and Hopton Castle.

Woodland: a fifth under tree cover.

Warnings: Two long and steep climbs towards the Knighton end; rough and muddy paths and a number of stiles.
