During the 8th century, King Offa of Mercia ordered a great dyke to be built to mark the western boundary of his kingdom with Wales. Offa's Dyke Path follows the course of this ancient earthwork from Chepstow to Prestatyn, passing through scenery of great beauty and variety along the way.
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.

Coast to Coast, Cotswold Way, Norfolk, Ireland, Pembrokeshire Path and the Offa's Dyke.”Ms Bernstein, USA

“Everything was very well organised. Accommodation was always good, in many cases excellent. My luggage was always delivered to the next accommodation without a glitch. In one occasion, there was a bit of confusion about the taxi companies doing the luggage and trail to accommodation transfers, but assistance was immediately available from Contours over the telephone and it was all sorted out promptly. I am globally very pleased with my overall experience and with the service provided by Contours.”Mr Clairet, UK
