Rhostyllen – Offa’s Dyke and Pentre Bychan

This easy walk starts from just outside Rhostyllen and visits a section of the Offa’s Dyke that’s not followed by the National Trail that can be found about 7km to the west.

Note from the Wrexham Council website – There is room for one or two cars on the B5098 near its junction with the B5605 (Ruabon Road) by Croesfoel Farm (grid ref. SJ 308483) and there is a lay-by further along. Do not park on the verges.
