Historic landscape walks in mid-Wales

Posted by Alex Messenger on 28/07/2010

If you're interest in history and archaeology then check out the series of self-guided walks being developed by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust.

The walks cover mid and north-east Wales and the first to be developed focus on prehistoric burial and ritual monuments, principally the stone circles, standing stones and burial cairns dating to around 2300-1200 BC.

It is hoped that other walks in this series will explore the broader theme of historic landscapes, helping to explain how the landscape has evolved and the ways in which has been used and exploited by man.

Each walk can be downloaded as a PDF which includes a map, and a detailed description of the walk with information about the history and archaeology. To find out more about the walks visit: www.cpat.org.uk/walks
