Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

I completed the Offa's Dyke Trail over two weeks in April 2014, walking from Prestatyn to Chepstow. Never having completed any long-distance walks before, the first few days amidst rain and wind over the Clwydian Hills were a challenge - but as the sun came out through mid-Wales the walking…

It has taken us 16 years, but we've finally done it.  We have really aged during the time it has taken us to complete our journey, nobody warned us about that when we started!   It's a great walk, passing through beautiful unspoilt areas of this country that would otherwise…

I walked Offa's Dyke in 2013 as part of a longer journey around the whole periphery of Wales linking Offa's Dyke with the Wales Coast Path.  The Offa's Dyke portion of the walk took twelve walking days between 20th April and 11th of May, with a gap at Kington to…

We walked to Hay on day walks as it is within our travel area. We walked Hay to Kington, then Kington to Llangollen, then Llangolled to prestatyn in three trips. Thoroughly enjoyed it and may do it again if we can find enough time.

I had a wonderful time walking Offa's Dyke Path, which I did in two stages, from Sedbury to Welshpool in May of 2010 and from Welshpool to Prestatyn in September the following year.  I've walked a few National Trails and found them enjoyable, but this is the one I would…

What an emotional experience ! Walking Offa's Dyke Path in two weeks from Chepstow to Prestatyn was a personal challenge for me after retiring.I had never tackled a long distance walk before. It was thrilling from start to finish. Each day was filled with expectation and excitement as the countryside…

The Offas Dyke Path gave me such a fabulous 12 days walking, and every day since I left the beach at Prestatyn was a unique walking experience with totally different landscapes and terrain to enjoy. The trail was superb all the way through to Chepstow and so many days stand out, walking…

Our 14 day adventure in June 2011 treated us with an ever changing stunning landscape from day to day.The hospitality we experienced from the B&B owners to the grand entrance at Mellington Hall hotel was heartwarming.The path is very well maintained with finger posts assisting us to stay on the…

We have just completed walking Offa's Dyke Path in 12 days. We had a wonderful time, and thoroughly enjoyed the walk.We chose to do the walk with Contours Walking Holidays, and opted for the 12-day schedule, with no stops.  We are reasonably fit, and decided that we could cope with…

Having walked sections of the ODP with close friends over a number of years, I had hoped that eventually we'd be able to cover it all together. Sadly, it was not to be. People take to the path for many reasons, but for me it was to be a solo…

The Offa's Dyke Path National Trail was the second National Trail l walked, with my son, from 27th June to 12th July 1985. Having caught the bug on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path the year before, the delights of the ODP convinced us that no better way existed than to walk…

Offa's Dyke Path was the first long distance trail I'd walked.  Actually, it was the only trail of any length I'd walked at the time.  Having built up a good level of fitness through several years of daily jogging, I hadn't expected to be overly tested by the seemingly sedate…
