Offa’s Dyke Path Walking Holidays: Experience Wales’ Iconic Walk

Celtic Trails' offices are located at the beginning of Offa’s Dyke Path, in the beautiful village of Tintern, overlooked by the world-famous Tintern Abbey in the lower Wye Valley. Since 1997 we've supported walkers on this National Trail, making us the leading supplier of Offa’s Dyke walking holidays in the UK. Our local knowledge is second to none.

We arrange self-guided walking holidays along this breath-taking path for clients who appreciate high standards of customer service, comfort, and organisation. We work with a network of caring hosts who offer warm hospitality in quality accommodations. They are an extension of our team, regularly going above and beyond for Celtic Trails guests.

Our varied itineraries range from ten miles per day to high mileage express routes for those who enjoy a challenge. Choose the perfect pace for you. Whether you want to complete the whole path, opt for half-path options, or break the route into smaller sections, we offer a tailoring service. Your dedicated walk coordinator, Sarah, will look after you from start to finish.

The Offa's Dyke Path follows ancient earthworks that marked the border between England and Wales. However, it doesn't strictly follow the borderline, with some sections missing from the boundary emerging out of the Wye Valley (for reasons that still escape historians).

Following the high ground wherever possible, you will experience wonderful views over the Welsh and English countryside. Walk through the Black Mountains and take in the breathtaking views from Hatterall Ridge. Pass through historic towns such as Monmouth and Welshpool, enjoy the blissfully quiet Welsh Marches of Herefordshire, Powys, and Shropshire, cross the Berwyn Mountains, and stride along the broad, grassy Clwydian Hills.

While steep ascents and descents are not common on this route, the repeated rising and falling can be strenuous. The most challenging sections are between the Black Mountains, Knighton, and Cwm, where there are several steep ascents and descents. However, the view from the Black Mountains is particularly memorable and worth the climb.
