Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

I started my journey in prestatyn on 22nd June to raise money for St kentigern hospice . I camped out most of the nights i spent 2 nights in a b&b this was mainly due to bad weather. The weather was really hot during the first week and then the rain…

It took us 12 days to hike from Chepstow to Prestatyn and we completed the walk on June 26. The weather wasn't the best. We had lots of rain and a bit of hail going over the ridge to Hay-on-Wye. We have done several walks in the past €“ the…

I began the Offa's Dyke Path on Monday June 6th to raise money for Mind the Mental Health Charity. I left Prestatyn and on the 22nd of June I crawled on hands and knees into Chepstow. I was very impressed with the Offa's Dyke Centre in Knighton and the lady…

Having walked the entire Coastal Pathway in 2013, Offa's Dyke was a very fitting and challenging conclusion to my physical and spiritual journey.  The diverse and contrasting landscapes, combined with the steep hill climbs tested us to our limits, particularly after a wet night under canvas!  Our first sight of…

I completed the Offa's dyke walk on Tuesday the 31st of May and it was the experience of a lifetime for me, having lived in Mid-Wales for the last 21 years and done bits and pieces before, but to do it in one journey was amazing especially with the variety…

I walked this fantastic trail in ten days with my black Labrador George by my side. We camped every night with me carrying everything we needed to exist. Every day of this walk brought new challenges but with them came some of the most beautiful countryside and outstanding views. My…

We walked the trail over two years, staring at Prestatyn. We were surprised at how long it was before we actaully saw any evidence of the Offa's Dyke! May is a good time to walk any National Trail as you see lots of young animals and plenty of wild flowers.…

My Dad and I started the walk from Chepstow back in Oct 2014.Whenever we could, we'd grab a w/e and pick the route up from where we last left off and grab a couple of days walking the amazing trail. Staying at pubs, B&Bs and camping pods along the way. My…

On the Offa's Dyke path on our way to Llangollen, the scenery throughout the trail was stunning with great weather conditions, we would definately recommend this walk.

Australian seeking dragon; found mole hills, much grass and sheep, fascinating moorland, little forests, and more hills. Lost magic sword and raincoat. 600+ photographs.My first photo is me crossing the World's End ford. The second is of a unique town in Wales that has one second-hand book store for every…

My friend Beverley and I walked the first half of Offa's Dyke trail in May 2015 and really enjoyed the route, the scenery and the lovely bluebell woods. We were fortunate to have a really sunny week with only one morning of rain. We found the 'switchback' section challenging but…

A quite brilliant introduction to a National Trail long distance walk (though have day walked on several others).   The variation of countryside and the combination of scenery, history (the White Castle was magical), personal challenges (the climb out of Knighton) and people met, will remain with me long after the aches…

The path was a challenging experience with a lot of steep up and down hills/mountains, but I am glad I did it. The trail is very well sign-posted and I only needed to use the Harvey's map a few times to get my bearings.For a solo-walker I found finding reasonably…

A truly stunning walk from 'bottom' to 'top'. With all but the last 2 walks undertaken through daytrips across an 18 month period (including sections in deep snow), this walk never ceased to be brilliant at all times. Waymarked with precision throughout and covering beautiful countryside the walk was both…

Walked the path from 18 - 28 March, as my first first long-distance walk since the boy scouts.  A bit early in the season, but the weather was surprisingly cooperative: only three wet days out of eleven.Stayed mostly in B&Bs, but as I wasn't sure how long I'd take, I arranged accomodation…

Was worried about the weather around March, but lucked out and managed the whole walk without a day of rain!Did it with a friend, and though we were expecting the walk to be quite scenic, we were still amazed by just how beautiful the views and landscapes were, especially the Black Mountains…

Overall we did the whole path in 10.5 walking days but spilt up the whole in day and weekend trips. We actually did the first section (Sedbury-Monmouth) ten years ago and the rest of the lower half in bits and pieces over the years. We decided to push on and do…

Hiking the Offa´s Dyke Path during the late fall of 2015 turned out to be a great finish for my summer vacation.I completed the trail in 11 days and every single one of them was warm and sunny, which I hadn´t expected before.Also the landscape and the small towns were…

Beautiful weather (thankfully) and wonderful scenery. A challenging path in good weather. Overall the B&Bs on the route were good/very good.I really enjoyed the experience over the 12 days of hiking and will promote this path to my fellow Canadian hikers.

Booked last minute, we rushed off on Saturday 12th September, missing the train to Chepstow and having to cadge a lift from our son-in-law! Not the best start and in the same vein, we rushed the first day, taking a wrong turn which cost us an extra 2 miles, and…
