About the Book

The Offa's Dyke Path is a superb national trail that runs from the North Wales coast to the Severn Estuary following the line of Offa's Dyke, an impressive 8th century earthwork along the English/Welsh border. The ever-changing landscape - the Clwydian Range, the Shropshire Hills, the Black Mountains and the Wye Valley - is steeped in history and legend providing 177 miles of fascinating walking. The guide includes: 87 large-scale walking maps; itineraries for all walkers; practical information for all budgets - guides to 52 towns and villages showing where to stay, where to eat, what to see, plus detailed street plans; comprehensive public transport information; flora and fauna - four page full colour flower guide, plus an illustrated section on local wildlife; green hiking; and GPS waypoints.
