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.

“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
“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
