A quite varied walk with spectacular scenery every day. The path takes you through several interesting small towns and villages, and across a mix of farmland, woods, and moorlands on high ridges which made every day an adventure of discovery. The logistics of bookings and baggage transfers worked without a hitch and the guidebook & maps, route notes and GPX files were all very helpful.
The trip was a dream come true! I focused on the walking, and the accommodations and were all taken care of. Great communication ahead of time.
Walking the Boundary of King Offa’s Mercia
Historic Castles and Abbeys Dating From 1066
Border Country of England and Wales
Walking in the Wye Valley
Trace the ancient borderlands of England and Wales on the Offa’s Dyke Path, an 8-day walking trip designed for experienced travelers and seniors seeking history and scenic beauty. Starting in Chepstow and winding to Knighton, this moderate trek covers the southern half of Britain’s longest archaeological monument, crossing between two nations more than ten times.
Follow King Offa’s 8th-century earthwork through patchwork fields, windswept ridges, ruined castles, and charming market towns. The path offers commanding views into valleys and mountains, with hedgerows, oak woods, and meadows alive with wildlife—look out for buzzards, the rare Red Kite, and perhaps even the mythical Welsh Red Dragon.
This tour package stands out for its blend of rich historical context and unspoiled rural landscapes, making it a journey packed with both cultural intrigue and natural splendor.
