Offa's Dyke Path follows the course of an ancient earthwork, spanning 181 miles from Chepstow to Prestatyn. Built by King Offa of Mercia during the 8th century, this great dyke was intended to mark the western boundary of his kingdom with Wales, and it travels through the beautiful and varied scenery of this borderland space.
The trail visits a succession of historic border towns and attractive villages, including Monmouth, Hay-on-Wye and Welshpool. There is also plenty of historic interest along the trail, including Chepstow Castle, the ruin of Tintern Abbey and the imposing stronghold of White Castle, to name just a few.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
We also organise trail running holidays along this route. Find out more.

“The weather was perfect - no rain for 14 days. Yes, it was hot and sunny but so much better than rain. This is my 7th holiday walk with Contour starting with the West Highland Way in the early 2000. Coast to Coast, Cotswold Way, Norfolk, Ireland, Pembrokeshire Path and the Offa's Dyke.”Ms Bernstein, USA
“Luggage transfers all worked superbly, all accommodation was of a good standard, and the overall experience was excellent.”Mr Montgomery, UK
“Had a great time. Accommodation and transfers first class. The walk itself was superb. Walking on the Dyke was incredible. It’s still there! Totally unspoilt area of the UK and the friendliest people.”Mr Kirkup, UK
“Really nice walk, not over-challenging. Very rural, not much between each stop and the next. The instructions and advice were well.”Mr Short, UK
“This walk is up there as one of the best long distance walks! Stunning scenery, a variety of terrain and landscapes. There were some tough sections, particularly from Knighton to Brompton Bridge but all worth it for the sense of achievement at the end of the 177 miles! Loved it and wanted to turn round and walk all the way back to Sedbury cliffs when we got to the end! Would most definitely recommend this holiday to others.”Mrs Parker, UK

“I am excited to be doing another tour with you in sept.”Ms Reber, USA

Everything was very complete, the holiday pack, the reservations, the luggage transport, the e-mail contact. Very good service, lots of choice in walking holidays.”Mrs Jans, Netherlands
