About Colva Hill
The walk up Colva Hill takes you away from the main tourist drag around Presteigne and into proper Mid Wales terrain. It's a steep scramble in places, but the summit rewards you with views across the Radnorshire hills - on a clear day you can see for miles. Allow two to three hours for the round trip depending on your fitness and how long you linger at the top.
This is walker territory, plain and simple. The path isn't particularly well-maintained or signposted, so you'll want decent boots and a map or GPS. It's not a ramble for toddlers or anyone after an easy stroll. Teenagers and serious hikers will get more out of it. The exposure and terrain mean you need to know what you're doing.
You won't find a visitor centre or café up here. It's free and entirely unmaintained - which is part of the appeal if you want to escape the honeypot trails. The best time to go is spring through early autumn when the weather's more reliable and the paths less waterlogged.
If you're staying at Presteigne Holiday Park, you're ideally placed for this hike. Fforest Fields and Hush Hush Glamping a few miles further out also work well as bases. The hill connects nicely with other walks in the area, so don't treat it as a standalone trip. You could easily spend a weekend exploring the ridges and valleys around here.
