Synopsis

This walker's guide and expedition planner covers the 285-kilometre (177-mile) National Trail that stretches from Chepstow, by the Severn estuary, to Prestatyn on the coast of North Wales. It offers a variety of walking along river valleys, through rolling farmland and across open hills, and allows the walker to get high enough to enjoy the views across the borderlands. For 100 kilometres (60 miles) of its route the path follows the earthwork attributed to Offa, the 8th-century King of Mercia, and the Dyke as a monument provides a theme to the walk. The controversy surrounding Offa's Dyke is examined, as is the latest archaeological research. Other features include: 1:21,000 stile-by-stile maps; Ordinance Survey mapping (with B&Bs pinpointed); information on pubs, shops, banks, buses and trains; accommodation details such as price-bands and facilities on 240 hotels, inns and B&Bs; and over 100 camping locations for backpackers. A feature of all Langton's Guides is that they are updated annually, with a free update sheet available to purchasers.
