The Forest Country House is fortunate to be located close to some of the best walking in The Marches close to the Welsh and English borders of Powys and Shropshire, Mid Wales. These are the forgotten lands, at the back of beyond. Rural unspoilt, sparsely populated and eternally peaceful, they await discovery. Overshadowed by Snowdonia to the north and the Brecon Beacons to the south, Mid Wales is a 'green desert'. The Marches is a tranquil borderland fought over for centuries with a unique charm of its own. A useful list is Walking Newtown.
There are many walks which can be enjoyed in the area and here are a small selection of the most well known close to our self catering accommodation. Details and maps are available in the cottages and at our bed and breakfast and we can often give advice although we can't promise to have walked them all.
