Summary:
The Epynt Way is a circular bridleway in the moorlands of Wales between the Brecon Beacons to the South and the Cambrian Mountains to the North. The way follows a course on or near to the boundary of the Ministry of Defence’s Sennybridge Training Area (SENTA), a danger area closed to the public under military law. The only exception to this rule is the Epynt Way permissive bridleway which is normally open to walkers, horse riders and cyclists. Being so close to a military training centre it is reassuring to know that the route is waymarked throughout with 1.2 metre posts and finger posts.
It is important to note there is no accommodation on the route so walkers not doing the route as a challenging 40 miles one day trek would need to camp. ( Important: Check for restrictions on walking the Epynt Way before setting out on the journey).
