From the Link website: This ancient path is 15 miles (24 km) long, journeying from Cider House Farm, near the village of Kerry, to Bishop's Castle. It holds a long tradition as a trade and drovers’ route from Wales to the lowland English markets. The route follows a ridgetop overlooking Wales on the one side and England on the other. It never dips below 1000 ft (300 m)above sea level, resulting in remarkable views in all directions. The ancient pathway forges a route through heather moors, woodlands and bilberry-rich heaths. The Kerry Ridgeway is a mix of country road, trackway and bridleway across fields and is suitable for cycling and horse riding. The Kerry Ridgeway is one of the oldest routes in Wales and was used by drovers to drive livestock out of Wales into England. As the name suggests it maintains high ground for its duration offering wonderful views over the surrounding border countryside as it links Powys with Shropshire. Idyllic on a fine day however no doubt it was far from pleasant in wind and rain. On a clear day it is possible to see up to 70 miles.
