Mynydd Epynt, Powys

Mynydd Epynt in mid-Wales is an ancient mountain plateau - and a modern military training area. Sheep roam freely on artillery ranges while red kites soar above troops on exercises. The sound of the wind is punctuated by booming mortars.

A change in legislation has encouraged the MoD to grant greater public access to its land. This walk explores the part of the Sennybridge Training Area.

You’ll be safe as you follow the Epynt Way footpath through a unique environment. Along the way, enjoy dramatic landscapes, spectacular views and surprising stories.
