Walk Offa's Dyke Path - Clwydian Hills

3 or 4 nights - MODERATE

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. 

Our short breaks follow the path along the Clwydian range from the lovely town of Llangollen towards the sea at the end of the trail. Some lovely hill walking with fantastic views towards Snowdonia and the sea. Cross the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, pass Castle Dinas Bran ruins and walk on across the Llandegla moors, over the Clwydian hills to Bodfari.
