Rotary Across Wales Walk

Saturday 18 June 2022

The 2022 Rotary Across Wales Walk will be back on the ground…Yay…. and we’re so looking forward to seeing you all again

A walk from Machynlleth to Montgomery, two historic and significant towns.

 Wander up and over hills from Wales’ historic capital, Machynlleth, heading east toward the English border at Montgomery. Following a mix of public rights of way, including two of our fantastic National Trails (Glyndwr’s Way and Offa’s Dyke Path) country lanes and the meandering Montgomery Canal. Along the way passing through characterful communities and the settlements of Staylittle, Trefeglwys, Caersws, Newtown and Abermule.

We’ll be showcasing our new and wonderful fun finish in Montgomery, where the community will be out to welcome you across the finish line.

We’ve been busy planning for the event, seeking as ever how best to keep safe our participants, our volunteers and the communities through which we pass.
