Castle Inn, Knucklas, Knighton, Powys

Here at the Castle Inn we have 5 quiet letting rooms well away from the hubbub of the pub - all rooms have been recently refurbished. There are 3 twin rooms and 2 doubles.

All rooms have en-suite facilities, a colour TV and a DVD player. The doubles can accommodate an additional single bed (eg for a child) at half normal price. We have a drying room and secure storage area.

We concentrate on serving good value, traditional pub fayre. Typical examples being sirloin steak, gammon & egg, homemade steak and ale pie and homemade cottage pie. We also offer a selection of vegetarian dishes.

The biggest local attraction is the countryside. The Castle Inn is set in the Teme Valley in Mid-Wales on the border with England. It is in the heart of beautiful walking, cycling and driving country.

The Landlord of the Inn is a keen walker and will be happy to advise on possible routes. In addition, we have a minibus for anyone who wishes to use the service for transfer from point to point of both themselves or luggage if they wish to walk or cycle to another destination.

We are around a mile from the Offa's Dyke National Trail. It is the only national trail to follow a man-made feature. Built by Offa, King of Mercia in 757 to 796 AD the dyke formed the boundary between England & Wales. It runs for 182 miles from Prestatyn in the north to Sedbury, near Chepstow in the south.

We are also about a mile from another National Trail, Glyndwr's Way. Its name derives from the early fifteenth century folk hero Owain Glyndwr, who won significant battles close to the route and who held a Welsh Parliament in Machynlleth. Glyndwr's Way begins about 2.5 miles away in Knighton, where it links with the Offa's Dyke Path. Running for 132 miles in a giant horse-shoe, it passes small market towns and quiet villages, traversing Wales to Machynlleth near the Dyfi estuary and back again across Wales to Welshpool, close to the English border.

The Jack Mytton Way long distance path also starts about a mile from the village and is suitable for cyclists and horses as well as walkers.

The Radnor Ring passes through the village. This is an 86 mile long circular cycle route passing through the heart of Mid-Wales.
