Information About

Offa's Dyke Path




Most walkers travel south to north, starting by the Severn , at Sedbury , near Chepstow , and finishing at Prestatyn . The walk will take an average walker roughly 12 days to complete, although this can vary depending on fitness and attitude.

Following a man made border and ancient momument rather than natural features, the Dyke crosses a variety of different landscapes. The route crosses the Black Mountains , the Shropshire hills (including the many ups and downs of the 'Switchback', for many walkers the hardest part of the walk) the Eglwyseg mountains, and the Clwydian Hills.

It passes through, or close to, the towns of Monmouth , Hay-on-Wye , Kington , Knighton , Montgomery and Llangollen .

The half-way point of the walk is marked by the Offa's Dyke Centre in Knighton .
