Description

The Offa’s Dyke path walking holiday over the Clwydian hills, follows part of Offa’s Dyke from the lovely town of Llangollen along the Clwydian range towards the sea. This is lovely hill walking along Offa’s Dyke Path 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.

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.

On the moderate option the walking distance is between 8 – 10 miles a day with a short walk of 6 miles of the first day. 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.
