Offa’s Dyke Path follows the course of an ancient earthwork, spanning 181 miles from Chepstow to Prestatyn. Built by King Offa of Mercia during the 8th century, this great dyke was intended to mark the western boundary of his kingdom with Wales, and it travels through the beautiful and varied scenery of this remote borderland space.
The trail visits a succession of historic border towns and attractive villages, including Monmouth, Hay-on-Wye and Welshpool. There is also plenty of historic interest along the trail, including Chepstow Castle, the ruin of Tintern Abbey and the imposing stronghold of White Castle, to name just a few.
