See the people, landscapes and routes behind guided adventures with Wild Trails Wales.
Wild Trails Wales offers private guided walks, navigation and outdoor-skills coaching and nature-connection experiences across Bannau Brycheiniog and other Welsh mountain, hill and coastal landscapes. Qualified guide Nia Lloyd Knott shapes each day around the participants' interests, confidence, experience and preferred pace.
Guided days can be gentle, adventurous or somewhere between the two, helping individuals, couples and groups discover unfamiliar routes without pressure. Longer days, overnight journeys and preparation for personal walking challenges can also be discussed, with plans adapted to weather, ground conditions and the group.
Personalised coaching can cover map and compass use, route planning, terrain, weather, safe decision-making and what to do when plans change. Sessions support complete beginners, people returning after time away and walkers who want greater confidence exploring independently.
Nature-connection sessions can combine mindful walking, observation, meditation, story and reflective time in the landscape. Wild Trails Wales also offers group walks with a welcoming, LGBTQIA+-supportive ethos, while written routes and guidebooks provide further inspiration for independent days out.
Nia is a qualified Mountain Leader and Lowland Leader, a Bannau Brycheiniog and Eryri Ambassador and trained in remote emergency first aid and water-safety management. Spare outdoor equipment can be borrowed by prior arrangement. Visitors should enquire directly so the route, access, equipment and level of challenge can be agreed before booking.
