Summary:
The Maelor Way begins at Grindley Brook near Whitchurch and heads west to the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail at Bronygarth, just beyond Chirk. From the start it crosses farmland to Hanmer Mere and Overton, then follows woodland trails alongside first the River Dee and then the River Ceiriog to Chirk. The Maelor Way links a series of further long distance footpaths, namely the Sandstone Trail, South Cheshire Way, Marches Way and Shropshire Way.
