Offa’s Dyke Path – North to South – 14 days

Officially opened in 1971, this long-distance path follows an earthwork of much greater antiquity. Built by King Offa of Mercia in the 8th century, Offa’s Dyke formed the ancient frontier between England and Wales. There are no border skirmishes these days, but you’ll find miles of quiet,
uninterrupted countryside, stunning upland scenery and a plethora of wildlife. Market towns and cultural heritage sites are dotted along the route and you’ll encounter the Severn and Wye Rivers as the path winds southwards from Denbighshire to Monmouthshire.

What to Expect

Walking the length of Wales should be a great adventure, which is why on our Offa’s Dyke walking holiday, we let you focus on the journey by taking care of the details. With pre-booked accommodation, baggage transfer and detailed route info provided, you can see why our self-guided walking tours are an excellent choice for a stress-free UK holiday.

We don’t tie you down to specific dates, giving you the flexibility to holiday when you want. Simply choose your dates, and we’ll do the rest. We suggest walking the route North to South, as we think the scenery improves as you walk if you travel this way! However, a South to North route has its merits too – we can arrange whichever you prefer.
