Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

I had completed walking the Wales Coast path in 2018, over a 5 year period, and thought walking Offa's Dyke path was the most obvious choice of trail to walk next.I started walking Offa's Dyke path in Spring 2019.I walked it in 16 sections over the summer months staying at…

A few years ago, my wife and I had contact with long-distance hiking trails for the first time during a short break in southern England. A round trip starting in Dover took us to the White Cliffs. This day hike had fallen so much that two years ago we took…

Gina, with my Mum, Ali DaviesCompleted the walk on 29th August 2019This was the longest walkie my Mum has ever taken me on. There were so many exciting new places and smells to explore, and my Mum really enjoyed walking along the ancient remains of the Dyke, the magnificent views…

I joined a group with hfholidays lead by Ian Backhouse. We started on 6 July 2019 and spent 13 days continuous walking. I learned alot about the Dyke, where it existed, where it was not evident but a line of defense provided bt natural obstacles. The weather was fine and…

Completed in 13 days with HF holidays and a great group.  We got all the stamps, my sheet got soaked on the second last day and disintegrated but didn't realise we needed a date stamp too until it was too late!

What a fantastic trail the Offa's Dyke path is! It's an eye opener as to how truly beautiful our countryside really is. Walking with a group of newly-made HF Holiday friends, we benefited from excellent settled weather and a shared determination and camaraderie to make the most of this extremely fine national trail.…

Really enjoyed walking the trail with my dad. It took us12 days of walking and we stopped in Knighton for a rest day. My dad did the trail 14yrs ago with my older brother, but now it was my turn. The weather was kind to us and we met some…

My good friend Chris Hornby and I completed the Offa's Dyke path last Wednesday 22nd May from the starting point in Chepstow on 12th May. It was a challenging but nonetheless thoroughly rewarding and enjoyable experience.

I completed the walk over 12 days. A wonderful, varied passage through the Welsh/English border history. Brilliant scenery, great people met along the way, but the most vivid memory,for me, will be the magnificent oak trees. The third National Trail I've completed, but by far the most enjoyable.

I completed the trail from South to North, accompanied by my dog, Monty, raising funds for Dogs Trust Bridgend. We camped each night in various campsites, all of which were very welcoming.  It took us 12 days to complete this walk, with a few days that really tested our endurance…

We walked the trail in 12 days without a rest day. The weather was varied with 3 very wet days in the middle section so much of the walk was very muddy. We really enjoyed the stunning and very varied scenery.

Great walk; one of the top walks in the world. Not too tough, but no push-over either. 

Back in April a group of 24 women set off to complete Offa's Dyke on Easter Sunday. Due to work commitments team members stayed different lengths of time and 6 completed the whole walk  in 13 days. We had the most unbelievable experience through out this time. It saw us…

What a beautiful walk this was, with our friends Julie and Stephen. It took us a few years, as our walking the trail was mostly confined to weekends here and there, but that's fine as we never intended this to be a race. There were so many super stretches: dropping steeply down from Hay Bluff…

Completed the ODP with Ben & Kara (also in the hall of fame). South to North for us all.A few years for the entirety of the trail mainly weekend walking but in all kinds of weather. Particularly recall walking up to unexpected snow last April.The trail reminds us of what spectacular…

This is our second National Trail completed together and we loved it. Especially loved the deep snow whilst running across the mountain escarpment into Hay. Can't wait to tackle our next Trail. 

I completed the trail walking North to South over 10 days in October, carrying my kit and camping.It was a fantastic time of year to be out, beautiful autumn scenery and certainly no problems with crowds!  I did have to avoid some stormy weather for a few days towards the…
