This guidebook describes Offa`s Dyke Path National Trail, following the longest linear earthwork in Britain, running 177 miles along the English-Welsh border between Sedbury (near Chepstow) & Prestatyn on the north Wales Coast, linking the Severn Estuary & the Irish Sea, contouring above the Wye & Dee, visiting hillforts & Norman castles & exploring the hidden heritage of the Marches. The book splits one of Britain`s classic trails into 12 stages, with suggestions for alternative 8 & 16 day schedules. This is a long but not too difficult walk for walkers of all abilities. Step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by 1:100, 000 OS mapping. A trek planner gives at a glance information about facilities, public transport & accommodation available along the route. A separate convenient booklet of 1:25, 000 OS maps provides all the mapping needed to complete the trail. The walk is astonishingly varied, taking in the lower Wye gorge, the Severn & the Dee rift valley, the pastures & woodlands of the border country, the remote moorland of the Black Mountains & the Clwydian range, & the dramatic limestone escarpments of Eglwyseg mountain. What makes it even more special is over 60 miles walking alongside the Saxon earthwork of Offa`s Dyke. ...
