From the North section of Offa's Dyke:
When Knighton town is in view, walk down the steep path beside Kinsley Wood, walking towards the river visible below. Walk to the Offa's Dyke Centre, following the signs. Turn south down the hill towards the town centre and clock tower. At the George and Dragon turn right into George Road. Whytcwm Cottage is about one minute from there, opposite George Close. (There are three bow windows)
From the South section of Offa's Dyke:
Follow the signs for Offa's Dyke Path to the Knighton Hotel.
The quickest route is to find the path leading over the stream as you approach the
hotel car-park (This path is on the left before you reach the car-park).
Go over the footbridge, up the close, turn left and you will see the bow windows
of Whytcwm Cottage on the right (opposite George Close).
If that is too complicated after a long walk, go through the hotel carpark to the main road,
turn towards the clock tower and then turn immediately left into George Road beside the
George and Dragon and The Banc. The cottage is on the right opposite George Close
