Same Country, Different World

Offa’s Dyke Path

Offa’s Dyke Path, a 177-mile (285 km) long walking trail, follows the stunning Dyke King Offa ordered to be constructed in the 8th century. The Trail links Sedbury Cliffs near Chepstow on the banks of the Severn estuary to Prestatyn on the shores of the Irish sea. It passes through no less than eight different counties and crosses the border between England and Wales over 20 times.

About us


The Trail explores the tranquil Marches (as the border region is known) and passes through the Brecon Beacons National Park on the spectacular Hatterrall Ridge. In addition, it links no less than three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty—the Wye Valley, Shropshire Hills and Clwydian Range / Dee Valley.
The Trail can be walked right through the year. Most people walk between April and October. Spring and early summer are the best times to see flora along the way.
