About Knowl Hill
The walk up Knowl Hill rewards you with proper views across Powys - the kind of outlook that makes you understand why people bother with hills at all. It's not a bruising climb, more a steady ramble that takes you from the lanes around Presteigne up to open moorland where the wind gets a proper say in things.
You get rolling countryside in every direction, with the Black Mountains holding court to the south when the weather plays ball. The terrain underfoot is rough grass and what feels like old drovers' paths, so decent boots are worth the bother. On a clear day you can pick out settlements and forestry blocks dotting the landscape - on a grey one, well, it's moody and atmospheric in its own right.
This is one for walkers rather than anyone wanting a quick snap and a coffee. Allow a couple of hours for the round trip depending on your pace and how long you dawdle at the top. Families with older kids will manage it fine; younger ones might find it a slog with nothing particular to hold their attention once you're up there.
Stay at Presteigne Holiday Park, just under a mile away, and you've got easy access to the hill without needing to drive. Hush Hush Glamping is barely two miles off if you fancy something different. Both work as bases for exploring the quieter parts of Mid Wales. Knowl Hill itself is free and open all hours - no visitor centre, no facilities, just you and the hills doing what they've always done.
