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 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.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.

“One of the best hikes I've ever done! Such a variety of terrain and stunning scenery all the way. Breathtaking views every day. Every day had a wow factor with stunning scenery.”Ms Ginter, UK
“I am excited to be doing another tour with you in sept.”Ms Reber, USA
“This walk is up there as one of the best long distance walks! Stunning scenery, a variety of terrain and landscapes. There were some tough sections, particularly from Knighton to Brompton Bridge but all worth it for the sense of achievement at the end of the 177 miles! Loved it and wanted to turn round and walk all the way back to Sedbury cliffs when we got to the end! Would most definitely recommend this holiday to others.”Mrs Parker, UK
“Great holiday, very well organised, thank you. Our accommodation was always comfortable and clean and our bags were always ready for us. The directions were good. It all worked seamlessly.”Mrs Humm, UK
“The weather was perfect - no rain for 14 days. Yes, it was hot and sunny but so much better than rain. This is my 7th holiday walk with Contour starting with the West Highland Way in the early 2000. Coast to Coast, Cotswold Way, Norfolk, Ireland, Pembrokeshire Path and the Offa's Dyke.”Ms Bernstein, USA
“Wonderful to do a day on day long-distance walk again after a break of a few years. Booking with Contours gave us that extra support we needed to feel confident once again of our ability. From start to finish through from our initial enquiry, booking, pre-holiday queries and the actual walking we were really comfortable working with Contours. Relaxed yet very competent accommodating approach works for us. Recommended Contours to everyone!”Mrs Roberts, UK
“Wonderful trip, wonderful landscapes, gracious hosts, even great weather.”Mr Wright, USA
