Walk Offa's Dyke Path - Shropshire Hills

3 nights - MODERATE or STRENUOUS

Offa's Dyke was built by King Offa in the 8th century to mark the border between Wales and England. The path is 177 miles long and runs from Prestatyn in North Wales to Chepstow in the south. The path often follows the line of the original Offa's Dyke so has views over some of the most spectacular mountains and valleys in Wales and England. 

Our short break of 3 nights with 4 days walking follows the path over the Shropshire Hills area from Knighton towards Montgomery and Welshpool. This is a hilly section of the path with spectacular view.

The moderate option is walking between 8 - 12 miles a day however we can tailor this around the distance you would like to walk each day and longer distances can be arranged, - please contact us with your preferred walking distance. Transfer to and from railway stations is included in the holiday, for those preferring to travel by car we can arrange transfer back to collect it, for an additional charge.
