I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

    LLANGEDWYN - MYNYDD Y BRYN - SYCHARTH BH239029 A MODERATE walk of 9 miles, 23 miles from Shrewsbury. OS sheets 239&240 A scenic route with plenty of interest, above the Tanat and Cynllaith valleys, through the Llangedwyn Estate and visiting the site of Owain Glyndwr’s hall. 1. Start at Llangedwyn Mill Craft Centre (NGR 185241) Car Park. Go back to the village centre, either by road or across the fields from the 18th century bridge over the Tanat. Llangedwyn is a Watkin Williams Wynn estate village and the Hall is now their residence in place of Wynnstay by Ruabon. The Hall has a complicated history with much rebuilding and demolitions. The grounds have terraced gardens and a strange loose box building in the paddocks. The Estate church is mid-19th century by Benjamin Ferrey. A splendid hill fort, Llwyn Bryn Dinas, Bronze Age and Iron Age, overlooks the valley one mile west of the village, but there are no paths to it. 2. Walk up the private drive to Llangedwyn Hall. Take the right fork at the stables and take the right of way behind the Hall to climb north east. Take the left fork through the woods to reach a green lane. There is no exit from the green lane to the road, so for the last part walk up the field keeping the fence on your right. Exit onto the Llansilin road. 3. Turn right on the road. Turn left at gate marked Ash Tree Cottage over cattlegrid. At top of hill (where track veers right/downhill) go straight ahead through gate and keep hedge line on left.
