Experience from summer 2019: I wouldn't call the town a highlight anymore, vlt. once it was. In the meantime, it looks partly run down, many shops are closed and restaurants are scarce. It is simply because of the hiking trail Offa's Dike and you therefore have to get through here. I cannot recommend more than a stop-over-night here.

Knighton is a beautiful border market town and is unique in being the only town to sit astride Offa's Dyke national footpath. It is also notable as the starting point of Glyndwr's Way, following the route of the Welsh leader's significant battles. It is also a mecca for border cyclists and there are plenty of routes to navigate the surrounding hills and stunning countryside.
