Offa’s Dyke Breaks Offa's Dyke was built by King Offa 1200 years ago to mark the border between Wales and England. This National Trail is 177 miles long and runs from Prestatyn in North Wales to Chepstow in the south. The path follows the line of the original Offa's Dyke, and the old earth works can be seen in several places along the walk. The path has views over some of the most spectacular mountains and valleys in Wales and England. Our short breaks offer a taster of this lovely, varied long distance walk.
