Route description
The 285km/177mi long-distance hiking trail Offa's Dyke Path was named after the influential King Offa of Mercia, who had the dyke built around 800 AD in order to delimit his kingdom from the others. As it takes around two weeks to do the entire trail, many hikers go for a shorter variation and only walk certain stages. The hike is recommended from south to north, where you simply follow the acorn signs.
