Discover the historic charm of Hendomen and Montgomery, where Welsh history meets stunning Powys landscapes on foot
Tucked away in the beautiful Welsh Marches, Hendomen holds a fascinating secret: it’s the very spot where the original Montgomery Castle stood, a wooden fort later replaced by the stone fortress you see today. Exploring this rich history is a delight, especially when you arrive by bus and embrace the gentle pace of travel without a car.
A leisurely stroll from the charming Georgian town of Montgomery will lead you to the impressive ruins of Montgomery Castle, offering commanding views across the stunning Vale of Montgomery. Don’t miss the Old Bell Museum in town, housed in a beautiful timber-framed building, sharing local stories. The surrounding countryside, including nearby Roundton Hill National Nature Reserve, promises picturesque walks and breathtaking vistas, all easily accessible on foot for a truly immersive Welsh experience.
