Offa's Dyke Walking Path

 
Offa's Dike Path is one of the long-distance paths laid out by the Countryside Commission. The paths are waymarked and described in booklets issued by the Commission.

The 177-mile / 285-kilometer route follows the English-Welsh border from Cheptstow on the River Severn, passing through the Wye Valley and Shropshire Hills to the North Wales coast at Prestatyn. Most of the trail follows the 8th century earthwork build by Mercian King Offa, and some sections move away from the Dyke towards varied scenery, including thick woods, open hills, pastoral lowlands and the Severn flood plain.
