Offa's Dyke Path Hiking Tours

Offa's Dyke Path follows a 1,200-year-old earthwork along the England-Wales border for 177 miles, from Chepstow to Prestatyn. Macs Adventure runs self-guided hiking tours along hand-picked sections, with luggage transfers included every day.

Walk through the Wye Valley's wooded river gorges, past Norman castle ruins and into the Clwydian Range's rolling hills, tracing the earthwork built by the Anglo-Saxon king Offa. Choose a highlight section or hike the full border-to-border route.
