O Fôn i Fynwy is a long-distance walk that links Wales’ two traditional ‘ends’ – a route which would capture people’s imagination and direct hikers through the most stunning landscapes Wales has to offer.
The traditional Welsh expression ‘O Fôn i Fynwy’ literally means from Anglesey (Ynys Môn) to Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy) but is also used figuratively to mean the whole of Wales, in the same way that ‘From Malin to Mizen’ is used in Ireland.
