'The Town
On The Dyke'.
|
K-TyC
Amazon Bookstore. |
Welcome to
a town with two names : 'Knighton'
in English, named for a "settlement of Knights",
and 'Tref y Clawdd' in Welsh, meaning "the
town on the dyke". And on the dyke is where
it sits. On Offa's Dyke, to be precise, straddling
the ancient border of Wales and England.
This quiet,
unassuming town spends its time half-hidden by the
hills rising from the floor of the lush Teme valley.
This is where the old Kingdom of Powys meets the
English county of Shropshire. A place where trees
outnumber people, and where time seems to stand
still...
Best known
today as the mid point of the Offa's Dyke Path National
Trail, K-TyC is also the starting point for
Glyndwr's Way, and a focal point for the walking
& hiking communities.
