SURVEYING works on a series of walking routes in north Powys are to be carried out by the county council.

Powys County Council’s countryside services team will be resurveying walking routes that use public rights of way in the Dyfi Valley and would like to hear from volunteers interested in helping with the surveys.

Three years ago, the council’s countryside services team and Natural Resources Wales finished opening up the walking routes in the Dyfi Valley as part of a project called Darganfod Dyfi or Explore Dyfi.

The project included neighbouring counties of Ceredigion and Gwynedd in the lower Dyfi Valley, roughly centred around Machynlleth.

There are five walks in Powys, ranging in length from under four miles up to seven. Four of the walks are circular, near Derwenlas, Ceinws and Llanwrin and the Centre for Alternative Technology, while the fifth explores the countryside from Machynlleth to the Dyfi Osprey Project and takes in much of the Powys length of the Wales Coast Path.

If you are interested in helping with the surveys, email the council’s countryside services team on [email protected]
