Offa's Dyke Path Hall of Fame

I completed Offa's Dyke, north to south, in 8 days this October as a solo walker/runner, staying en route in lots of lovely B&Bs (booked through Contour). The very varied terrain (and weather!) made this a challenging but rewarding adventure - a great introduction to the National Trails!

My brother & I allowed ourselves a window of 10 days to complete the walk (even though, or perhaps because, most websites recommend to allow at least 12 days to complete), meaning we would need to do a minimum of 17.7 miles a day.To keep costs down, we made the…

My Brother and I set off from Prestatyn on 25th Sept 2018 and our intention was to complete the trail, fully self-supported and camping, in 10 days. We were blessed with great weather thorough out although day 2 was a little blustery to say the least. Our shortest day on the…

Completed the trail with a friend in two 8 day chunks. A real trail of two halves! First section from Chepstow to Newcastle lots of sheep, high ridges and ruined castles. Second section lots of cows, stunning 360 views and ancient hill forts. Best bits were walking alongside the actual…

16 Days walking with a Group of 21 with two Rest Days and five Moving Days. All members of the International Caravan Association.

Organised 21 members of the International Caravanning Association to walk the whole Offa's Trail during the 1st 3 weeks of September.18 completed the whole trail with the other 3 missing 2 or 3 segments.

A group of us walked the trail from the ICA (International Caravanning Association).We found the path very well signposted.The scenery and local history was fantastic.  England at its best.

We walked South to North with a group of over 20. We all belong to the International Caravanning Association (actually more motorhomes nowadays) - ICA for short.We conducted the walk over 2 - 3 weeks using a number of campsites as 'base camps' and hired transport for getting to/from the start…

We walked the Offa's Dyke trail from south to north over fourteen days in September.  The countryside was stunning and very varied, ranging from the wooded Wye Valley to the bleak terrain of the Black Mountains, to the rolling Shropshire Hills.  The biggest surprise for us was the beautiful Clywdian Hills…

We walked the south half of the trail from Chepstow to Knighton from September 12-18.  The path was well-marked - we only went slightly astray once.  The trail has more ascent and descent than we initially expected but the scenery was well worth it. We had excellent weather for the most…

We started Day 1 hiking south to north on Sept 1st, 2018Our itinerary was 14 days of hiking with 2 rest days, completing the path on Sept 16th, 2018We found the path exciting and very enjoyable although we found the path more challenging than expected due to accents and descents…

Through hiked the whole thing with a group of 4 14 days! 

The whole Trail was an adventure as we have never done a multli day walk in Britain before. It was fun constantly changing countries from Wales to England and back again. Never knew if crossing a field would take us back across the border !We thoroughly enjoyed the walk and loved…

I walked the path from south to north in eight days in September.I camped for a few nights and BnB'ed for the rest. The weather was really mixed, from hot sunshine (I got a tan!) to pouring rain that lasted all day. I did the walk alone, as a bit of a personal…

I had a spectacular northbound walk on the Offa's Dyke Path between 19 August and 30 August, camping 8 of the 11 nights. It was my first National Trail and I am eager to do more. I'm so thankful to all of the local and national authorities who preserve this…

We walked this trail in sections over the course of a year to celebrate my 50th birthday.

We walked the ODP from south to north and carried our tent with us. It was worth because most of the time we were the only one with a tent on beautiful campsides! The weather was extrordinary because it was really warm and dry! The path varied a lot, everyday…

We (my wife (Sandra) and I) walked the trail over 12 consecutive days - although we did the first two miles from Sedbury Cliffs to Chepstow Bridge the afternoon before we properly started. We walked with day sacks (luggage transfer and accommodation arranged through the excellent Celtic Trails) so it…

We walked the trail South to North in 9 days in blazing hot weather, camping most of the way.  We hardly saw a cloud the whole trip, which made it tough going at times, but much better than the alternative !  The scenery is truly stunning and the sign-posting is excellent.  Apart…

A brilliant 14-day walk from Prestatyn to Chepstow.  Not the usual route - most people go south to north - but as we live in Herefordshire and just 10 miles from Monmouth it was a chance to walk 'home'.  Stunning scenery, fantastic B&Bs with lovely hosts and a huge thank…
