Tower and Ramparts Walk

A figure of 8 route right on the England and Wales border along the Offa’s Dyke Path. Starting in Craignant and up Selattyn Hill for the first loop, you could easily divide this into two easier routes. You finish off on a final loop towards Bronygarth along Offa’s Dyke before returning on paths to the start.

Even if you’re on the English side of the border, the place names are Welsh; Craignant, Fron and Pentre being just some examples.

Offa’s Dyke National Trail is a 285km walk along the Welsh – English border from Chepstow to Prestatyn. Here are a few bite size chunks for you to digest, rather than doing the lot.
