It might be hard work, but the views are spectacular and the scenery seems to change every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opened in 1971, it has become one of THE best-loved long distance trails in Great Britain and, as one reviewer said, the path has \u2018a lot to Offa\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A designated&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path\/information\">National Trail<\/a>, Offa\u2019s Dyke Path measures 177 miles and can therefore take several days to complete \u2013 usually 12 for decent hikers who can keep going for six hours at a time. It\u2019s situated along the Wales-England border, running alongside what\u2019s left of the 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Century Offa\u2019s Dyke. It\u2019s thought that this earthwork was ordered by Offa, the then King of Mercia, to either protect his land from threats from the Kingdom of Powys or to simply delineate the two territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The path itself starts in Sedbury near Chepstow and travels north to Prestatyn. It traverses over rolling hills and the ominously-titled Black Mountains, skirting villages and following canals; cutting through Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire\u2019s Welsh marshes and Shropshire. You\u2019ll see Norman castles and medieval abbeys; cross the Pontcysyllyte Aqueduct and literary-lovers can peruse the many old book shops in Hay-on-Wye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need good trail shoes or hiking boots and possibly long trousers to protect your legs from stinging nettles \u2013 and don\u2019t forget a decent weatherproof jacket. This is the UK, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The route<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/uploads\/the_route.jpg\" alt=\"Image:  http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small>Image: http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most walkers take a south to north approach, starting at the Severn Estuary \u2013 a stone\u2019s throw from the Severn Bridge.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.walkingclub.org.uk\/long-distance-path\/offas-dyke-path\/map.shtml\">Walking Club<\/a>&nbsp;divides the path into 12 stages, starting in Chepstow then travelling up to Monmouth, Pandy, Hay-on-Wye, Kington and Knighton. This is typically considered the southern portion of the path. The northern part from Knighton covers Brompton and reaches up to Buttington, Llanymynech, Chirk, Llandegla and Bodfari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path\">http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a walk which is doable in a few days, try the section from Abergavenny to Knighton. Measuring some 50 miles, it takes in hilly farmland and a few small towns, including Hay and Presteigne. Perfect for a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 34 miles is the Llangollen to Prestatyn walk, suggested by&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitwales.com\/things-to-do\/activities\/walking-hiking\/offas-dyke-path\">Visit Wales<\/a>&nbsp;as one of its favourite Offa\u2019s Dyke Path sections. They may call it a \u2018challenging weekender\u2019, but the incredible landscape of the Clwydian Range makes for an exhilarating and rewarding slog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shorter still is the 16-mile walk through the stunning Wye Valley from Chepstow to Monmouth; an easier woodland walk through which you can glimpse incredible views and Tintern Abbey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Predominantly well signed, there are a few places where you might need to keep your eyes peeled for the next marker, so&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/maps\/paper-maps\/?mapsearch=offa%27s+dyke+path\">do take a good map<\/a>&nbsp;with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to stay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re tackling all or a good sized chunk of the Path, you\u2019ll need to arrange overnight accommodation. The path doesn\u2019t meander into many towns, so you may discover that your B&amp;B is situated a little off the track. Regardless, you shouldn\u2019t have too much trouble finding a bed for the night. The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.offasdyke.demon.co.uk\/\">Offa\u2019s Dyke Association keeps an up-to-date list<\/a>&nbsp;of hotels, B&amp;Bs, hostels and self-catering accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those staying at Brynhonddu Country House in Pandy might be treated to an after breakfast talk on the local area by the proprietor. Listed the number one hotel in Hay-on-Wye, The Swan at Hay is a popular stop with a good restaurant and lots of rooms. Then there\u2019s the highly-rated Royal Oak in Knighton \u2013 a lovely pub with clean rooms and if nothing else, a great pint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you\u2019d rather sleep under canvas, there are&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path\/accommodation-camping\">plenty of campsites<\/a>&nbsp;to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry about lugging your tents and bags with you on the walk; taxis, baggage companies and even some B&amp;Bs can arrange to have your bulky belongings transferred to the next stop on your list. Check the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaltrail.co.uk\/offas-dyke-path\/information\">National Trail<\/a>&nbsp;website for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/uploads\/offasdyke.jpg\" alt=\"Image: Eirian Evans [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small>Image: Eirian Evans [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The path is open year-round, but with its tricky terrain and demanding elevations, it\u2019s best to go in the drier months. Spring is an especially good time to go, promising sunny days and comfortable temperatures, along with the first bursts of beautiful springtime flowers. Plus you\u2019ll get to enjoy the adorable sight of little lambs running about. Summer is equally lovely, though try to avoid any really hot days, and ensure you pack the right gear to help you cope with the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be a demanding walk, but it\u2019s certainly one that any hiker would complete with not only a huge sense of achievement, but also of wonderment at the varied and beautiful landscape this part of the world has to offer. Break it into chunks if you need to; just make sure you give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"MetaShare\">\n\n\t\t\t<button id=\"likeButton\"
