A walk back through history to King Offa’s Mercia on the border of England and Wales. Once upon a time in the 8th century, there was a ruthless King of Mercia called Offa. Such trouble had he from Welsh marauders nibbling at the toes of his kingdom, that once and for all he decided to define his territory and built a huge earthwork to do so, generally following the high ground with commanding views into the mountains and down into the valleys. Today the remaining 80 miles of embankment forms Britain’s longest archaeological monument and the basis of a famous walk: Crossing the border between England and Wales more than 10 times, the Offa’s Dyke National Trail path follows some of the finest scenery in both countries for 177 miles (285 km). Our walk follows the southern half of this trail from Chepstow to Knighton, (about half this walking distance in total). It is a journey packed with interest through patchworks of fields, over windswept ridges, across infant rivers, by ruined castles and into the old border market towns. Traditional farming methods have more or less remained intact and the hedgerows, oak woods and hay meadows form good wildlife habitats, home of buzzards and the rare Red Kite. You might even discover the even rarer Welsh Red Dragon!

An informative and in depth insight into Wales both past and present. Made extra special by Anthony Wade our guide and Steve our driver. Both men experts in their respective fields.

My husband & I were very satisfied with our Wales tour. Our tour guide was excellent & also the driver. They both went beyond their duties to accommodate our wants & needs. Yes. We would definitely recommend Back Toad Tours We look forward to our next tour which is The Highlights of Britain. We are following that tour to Scotland & then to Ireland. We will always use Back Roads Tours fior their excellent service…the Holels have all been very good as well.
Patricia Ma | Traveled in August
I enjoyed the Wonders of Wales tour very much. Excellent tour guide Terry and driver Vince. I worked it out that the price is about the same as if we had done it all ourselves. Back Roads had done all the work for us and there were frequent stops of places of interest to see. Accommodation was lovely with breakfast and dinner included as well as the interesting places we saw. If I had known, we would have also booked a tour of Scotland and England or Ireland. The group consisted of 18 people as well as the guide and driver which made it more intimate for getting to know the others. The bus was medium size with big clear windows to see the scenery.

Amazing experience made even more special by the tour leader, the bus driver and the other 15 people who accompanied us. So many interesting things to see and experience. Accommodation was excellent with a hint of tradition of yesteryear. Food was excellent. Delicious and several choices. We learnt so much about the Welsh people and their history.
