Most people start with the 14-day plan. We publish 11–16 walking days.
| Plan | Average | Longest day |
|---|---|---|
11 days Challenge The fastest plan: the ridge in one day from Pandy, and a long last day over Moel Famau to the sea. | 16.2 mi 26.1 km | 24.7 mi 39.8 km |
12 days Express The ridge in one day from Pandy, a night at Trefonen, and Moel Famau before a night at Bodfari. | 14.9 mi 23.9 km | 19.4 mi 31.2 km |
13 days Compact Splits the ridge at Longtown, then walks the Severn and the hills after it in one day to Trefonen. | 13.7 mi 22.1 km | 19.4 mi 31.2 km |
14 days Classic Usual start About two weeks. The ridge splits at Longtown, and the Severn gets a day of its own to Llanymynech. | 12.7 mi 20.5 km | 19.4 mi 31.2 km |
15 days Relaxed Adds a night in the Wye Valley, so the first day is a short walk to Tintern. | 11.9 mi 19.1 km | 15.1 mi 24.3 km |
16 days Leisurely Adds Newcastle-on-Clun, so the hardest hills after Knighton become two short days. | 11.1 mi 17.9 km | 15.1 mi 24.3 km |
Distances follow the trail's GPS route. Walking to your stay adds extra distance. A shorter plan is the same route with nights joined.
