Walk Offa's Dyke Path - Clwydian Hills

3 or 4 nights - MODERATE or STRENUOUS

Offa's Dyke was built by King Offa in the 8th century to mark the border between Wales and England. It is one of the National Trails and the whole path, 177 miles long, runs from Prestatyn in North Wales to Chepstow in the south. The trail often follows the line of the original Offa's Dyke, which can be seen in several places along the walk. The path has views over some of the most spectacular mountains and valleys in Wales and England.
