Heart of Wales Line Trail Passport

The Heart of Wales Line Trail Passport is a record of your journey and can be used whether you walk the trail in one go or do sections over time. This passport scheme has been developed and is managed by the charity ‘Friends of the Heart of Wales Line Trail’ and all proceeds go towards the upkeep of the trail.


The ’Friends’ developed the passport in order to enhance the experience of walking this wonderful trail whilst supporting small business along the way. They also wish to encourage even more walkers to seek out this railway-inspired long-distance path and all the variety it offers.

Collecting Stamps


There are currently 16 towns and villages where you can get your passport stamped along the trail. All ‘Stamping Stops’ are based within local businesses that have signed up to support the scheme. You will find all the locations on the map below. Please click the link of each location to find out their opening times.


There are 10 MAIN locations which have at least two Stamping Stops, hopefully this means you can collect stamps whatever time you arrive.


There are also 6 ADDITIONAL (bonus) locations which, mostly, only have one Stamping Stop, therefore you may not be able to collect stamps if opening hours are not compatible with your arrival time.


The emphasis of the passport is not necessarily on collecting ALL the stamps but on using the passport to enhance your walking adventure along the trail.


However, if you collect 10 or more stamps you can apply for a free trail gift and certificate. Please e-mail heartwalestrail@gmail.com with your name as you would like it to appear on your certificate, an image of your passport and your address.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • What if Stamping Stops are closed?

    At the 10 MAIN LOCATIONS there should be at least two Stamping Stops so check to make sure if there is an alternative that might be open. 


    At the 6 ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS, which are the smaller villages, it is more likely that the Stamping Stops will have limited open hours, so it is a bonus if you can catch one that is open. 


    If you don’t manage to get a stamp, don’t worry. You only need to get 10 in total to claim your free gift and completion certificate. 


    If a Stamping Stop is closed when it is advertised as open, please let us know and we’ll ask them to update their information.


  • Why aren’t there Stamping Stops in every town or village along the trail?

    Not every location has a suitable place for a Stamping Stop, many villages are so small and remote they don’t even have a shop. 


    If you have suggestions for future Stamping Stops please let us know. 


  • Is there an expiry date on the passport?

    No. You can keep your passport for years and collect stamps at your own pace. 

  • How can I buy a passport?

    The passport is currently only for sale on the website. Follow the link on this page to buy one. In future we will look at physical places that you can buy them too. If you prefer to pay by cheque please send an email to heartwalestrail@gmail.com

  • What is the free gift?

    The free gift is currently a sew-on patch for the trail. In future the free gift may change. 

  • How do I claim the free gift and certificate?

    When you have 10 stamps or more on your passport and would like to claim a free gift and certificate, please photograph it and send it to heartwalestrail@gmail.com along with your name and address. 

  • How can I get a passport sent to me outside of the UK?

    If you live outside of the UK and would like to order a passport please e-mail heartwalestrail@gmail with your name and address and we can calculate the cost of postage and send you a payment link.
