Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

I had a great time walking the Offa's Dyke Path with my Dad, Tim Dub. We camped all the way and met lots of interesting people.The landscape through which we travelled was so varied (woodland, rugged hilltops, small villages) and because of this offered a real insight into the diversity…

We camped, so with a 20kg pack, much of the walk was experienced as physical suffering through a landscape of chocolate€“box prettiness and the casual horror of too-near intimacy with nature. For a Methodist boy like myself, the perfect combination of celestial and the earthy! I had not realised Britain…

This is the eleventh long distance trail completed by my wife and myself.We found it to be a demanding trail,but did walk it in appalling weather with almost continous gales,rain hail and sleet, early in the year.We took fourteen days,including a couple of half days treating it as a holiday,…

177 miles of hills and valleys assuming you dont get lost or have to divert to accomodation along the way. Worth every step if not for the views but the local people you meet along the way. EVERYONE I meet offered help and assistance when asked and a smile of…

We took on the challenge on a windy day in February 2013 at Prestatyn and eventually finished it (with style) in November 2014.  We probably encountered every type of weather, from Force 7 gales, to hailstones, snow, driving rain and fabulous sunshine and we met some lovely and interesting people…

Walking Offa's Dyke has been a long held ambition of mine and, finally on 29th August, my husband and I started our walk over sixteen days.  We were so lucky to have perfect walking weather.  Our waterproofs came out as we left Monmouth on day 3 but only stayed on…

Great walk with good company.

Offa's Dyke PathA train up to Prestatyn one Monday in late July took me to the Beaches Hotel for the night. The hotel is a modern motel type place right on the sea front some 800 yards from the town centre. The public spaces are a bit chaotic as the…

Having previously walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail and LlÅ·n Peninsula Coastal Path I decided to head inland and walk the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail from Chepstow to Prestatyn. I was unsure if I would enjoy walking an inland trail as much as a coastal path for a period…

My wife had never tackled a long-distance trail so what better than to attempt Offa's Dyke?  Reading many reports it seems that most favour the south to north route but, preferring to cover the high level stuff early, we took the Prestatyn to Chepstow route.I won't detail where we stayed…

A team of 9 runners from Rolls-Royce completed the Offa's Dyke Path in three and a half days over the period 12-15 July 2014. Jon Kinder and Bryan Carr (the pair in the second photo) completed the entire distance with the other team members Andy Swift, Alan Eccleston, Bob Bond, Bill…

The Offa's Dyke Path is an enthralling and in places, challenging walk.It consists of wonderfully varied landscapes and enviroments and has something to please everyone from wild ponies grazing on the moor, to aquaducts and industrial archaeology, to strenuous climbs leading to heather and bilberry-clad uplands.A couple of thoughts that…

We booked a journey to Wales of 15 days, not really knowing what we were getting in to. We knew there were many hills and comparing with other routes we thought that 15 - 25 km a day would be about right. We also splitted the middle stretch in two,…

Two glorious weeks along this wonderful trail, this was the best of holidays. That the weather was fantastic the whole trip made it extra special, and it was a real privilege to walk across such wonderful landscapes, and meet lots of lovely people.

Thirteen days of walking Offa's Dyke Path in gorgeous weather. In more than a dozen visits to the UK, including two other long-distance walks (Hadrian's Wall and Pembrokeshire Coast Path), I've never seen such relentlessly spectacular weather. One half-day of rain, a couple other brief cloudbursts, but everything else was…

We walked the path in eight days starting at the end of May 2014.The weather was relatively kind to us and we walked north to south finishing at Sedbury on a sunny Saturday evening. As for the walk, it has some stunning scenery along the way. The day we spent…
