Offa's Dyke Path

Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail runs for 177 miles along the Anglo-Welsh border, partly following the line of Offa’s Dyke. Wild moorland, ancient woodland and wide river valleys are a few of the sights you will see on this walk which passes through no less than three areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Which part will be your favourite - reaching the top of Clwydian Hills, marvelling at the dramatic views of the limestone cliffs in the lower Wye Valley or perhaps visiting one of the historical villages along the way? Offa’s Dyke is steeped in history and legend - walk along the path and imagine the people of times gone by in whose footsteps you are following.

Built in the 8th century by King Offa to divide his kingdom of Mercia from rival kingdoms, the route begins in Prestatyn in the North of Wales passing through eight counties and crossing the English/Welsh border no less than 20 times before arriving at the Sedbury Cliffs and the town of Chepstow in the South. You can walk the entire path in two weeks or split the walk into North or South sections.

Highlights:

• Marvel at the wide variety of wildlife and flora
• Spectacular views from Hatterall Ridge, the highest point on the path
• Explore many of the historic towns including Hay-on-Wye - known as the book capital
• Sample some of the local specialities such as welsh cakes and laver bread
• An abundance of Iron and Bronze Age Hill Forts
