A wooden fingerpost, with two fingers, on a hillside path. Both fingers have a National Trail acorn logo near their tip. To the left: 'Prestatyn, 88 1/2 miles. To the right: 'Chepstow, 88 1/2 miles'. The shaft has a circular sign depicting a human figure walking a dog, surrounded by the words 'PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, PLEASE KEEP DOGS ON LEADS'. A rectangular, red sign lower down the shaft has a map of the trail, beneath the headline 'Congratulations, you are half way along Offa's Dyke Path National Trail. Only 88.5 miles / 142km to go...', and some smaller text. The hillside is pale green grass with some small gnarled trees, beneath low grey clouds.

The halfway point on Offa's Dyke Path #NationalTrail, near Newcastle on Clun, #Shropshire. The world feels a long way away, there.

A section of Offa’s Dyke near Churchtown in Shropshire. The linear earthwork roughly follows the English/Welsh boundary, and was constructed on the orders of King Offa of Mercia in the 780s. 📸 My own. #SaxonSunday #OffasDyke #Mercia #Shropshire

#247 Offa's Dyke, Llangollen, 26/08/2025

I like planning walks that work these fabulous limestone "pillows" into them, they are dramatic whatever the weather but truly sing in the sunshine.

Lovely day though. #OffasDyke

8: Brompton crossroads – Knighton (23 km/14,3 m) Montgomery On this last day of (our) Offa’s Dyke journey we were having a bit of a dilemma. As hiking purists we dislike skipping parts of a trail or route. However, the path from Montgomery …

Our last day on Offa's Dyke Path was between Brompton Crossroads and Knighton, via the so called switchbacks in the Shropshire Hills. With wonderful vistas, the Dyke and a beautiful, but challenging trail. wp.me/p93xVa-3w #walking #hiking #wales #offasdyke

4. Llangollen – Chirk (16 km/9,9m) Llangollen It’s a sort of golden rule for hiking enthusiasts. After a long and tiring day of walking it might be a good idea to plan a shorter, easier one, especially when you have the perfec…

Day 4 on Offa's Dyke Path is a short one between Llangollen and Chirk, going along the Panorama Walk, through Trevor Hall Wood and across the Froncysyllte aqueduct. Nearby you can visit the wonderful Chirk Castle seatothelandbeyond.wordpress.com/2019/03/13/4... #offasdyke #wales #hiking

3. Clwyd Gate – Llangollen (23 km/14,3m) Clwyd Gate Because of the fact that our accommodation was located in Llanferes, a couple of miles from the starting point at Clwyd Gate, we treated ourselves to a ride. The owner of the Druid inn b…

Day 3 on Offa's Dyke Path between Clwyd Gate and Llangollen offers the last stretch of the Clwydian Range, Llandegla Forest, moors and heather, World's End, the Egwlyseg Crags AND Castell Dinas Brân seatothelandbeyond.wordpress.com/2019/03/06/3... #hiking #offasdyke #wales

1. Prestatyn – Bodfari (21 km/13 m) From north to south As I said in the short introduction this blog about Offa’s Dyke Path will cover more or less half of the trail and we decided to start north in Prestatyn and head southwar…

Day 1 on #offasdykepath is between Prestatyn and Bodfari. seatothelandbeyond.wordpress.com/2019/02/25/1... Climbing from the coastal town you pass stretches of green meadows and fields and ascend and descend towards Bodfari #walking #hiking #wales #offasdyke

Offa’s Dyke Path: A summary Whose what? Just as is the case with Hadrian’s Wall Offa’s Dyke Path also follows a historical border of sorts. Offa (Icling) was king of Mercia from 757 until 796. Mercia was one of the different …

The Trothy Valley in #Monmouthshire: the peak on the right is Graig Syfyrddin - the summit of which is called Edmund’s Tump - and on the left are the #Sugarloaf and #Skirrid (Ysgyryd Fawr). #OffasDyke passes through the bottom of the valley.

On the Shropshire side of Offa's Dyke, it was said that the landmark was a furrow, cut through the landscape on a single night by The Devil. To do this, Owd Scratch used a plough, pulled by a gander and a turkey!

This is the Trothy Valley in #Monmouthshire (where we walked today). #OffasDyke passes through it, and the River Trothy ‘joins the confluence of the #RiverWye and the River Monnow just South of #Monmouth.’

90k Project to Make Key Tourism Site More Accessible is Completed A £90,000 project to make Offa’s Dyke more accessible to visitors has been completed thanks to grant funding secured by Powys County Council.
