Getting to the start of the walk

The walk starts (or ends) at the remote location of Rhyd-y-benwch which is not served by buses. You have 3 options:

Use the Severn Way to walk the 8 miles (12.9km) from (or to) Llanidloes, well served by buses which connect with the nearest railway station at Caersws (on the Cambrian line between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth).

If finishing the walk at Rhyd-y-benwch you can retrace your steps to Llangurig (12 miles/19.3km) which is on a main bus route.

Use a taxi service (or friend) to be dropped off (or collected from) Rhyd-y-Benwch. There is no phone signal at Rhyd-y-Benwch. See here for taxi details
