Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail

Knighton to Kerry Ridgeway

This is one of the most spectacular and challenging sectional of the Offa’s Dyke Path as it contains some of the best preserved section of the monument and has some of the impressive scenery also containing some of the most undulating section of the National Trail. It passes over several high point with good views and descend down to the tranquil valleys one being at the little church of St John’s at Churchtown near Mainstone, well worth the effort and hopefully enjoying the achievement and views gain along the way.

Mellington to the River Camlad

This section of the National Trail is flatter but still as interesting, passing through the old valley bottom created by the receding glaciers, the route meanders in and out of the two Countries of England and Wales many times passing Montgomery as it does, finally leaving England & Shropshire at the bridge over the River Camlad.

Llanymynech to Chirk Mill

No sooner does the Offa’s Dyke Path enter Shropshire and England and goes close to the Llanymynech Heritage Limeworks Area then it passes back into Powys and Wales only to briefly re-visit the County again. It crossing back into England and Shropshire at the impressive Blodwel Rocks to then head over the Moelydd where spectacular panoramic view can be seen of the route travelled the way ahead. After passing the Village of Trefonen the National Trail climbs through Candy Wood to pass over the Old Oswestry Racecourse from where it heads up to Selattyn Hill and afterwards runs adjacent to the Dyke until Bronygarth and at Chirk Mill it continues north through the Welsh countryside to the coast.
