Synopsis

The essential, all-in-one guide to walking Offa’s Dyke Path, one of Britain’s most historically captivating, long-distance walks.

Stretching 177 miles from Prestatyn on the North Wales coast to Chepstow on the banks of the River Severn, Offa’s Dyke Path follows the line of one of Britain’s greatest early medieval monuments – the ancient earthwork boundary built by King Offa of Mercia – through some of the finest border country in England and Wales.

This fully re-walked and completely updated 6th edition Trailblazer guide is built around what Trailblazer does best: large-scale, route-led mapping that you can follow directly on the trail. With walking times, accommodation, food stops and key landmarks shown on the map itself, there is no need to switch between text, apps or additional maps – everything you need is in one book.

Strider, the magazine of the Long Distance Walkers Association calls it “a high-quality walking guide in every aspect.” (April ’26)

Ideal for keen, experienced walkers and for those planning their first multiday walk, the guide supports walkers who prefer to plan their own days rather than follow rigid stages. Clear route guidance, flexible itineraries and practical planning advice give you the confidence to walk the trail your way.

Inside this Trailblazer guide you’ll find:

• Large-scale walking maps (just under 1:20 000) - detailed enough to walk with the book in hand so you can walk confidently without switching between apps or extra maps. Strider magazine praised the maps as “a brilliant aid to making progress along the path”
• Unique Trailblazer mapping features - including walking times, clear directions, tricky junctions, gradients, places to stay, places to eat and points of interest
• Flexible itineraries for all walkers - walk the full route end to end, choose shorter sections, or sample the highlights. The trail can be walked in either direction and this guide supports both options with clear, directional mapping
• Clear stage planning - helping you judge daily distances, terrain and ascent to suit your pace
• Detailed public transport information - for access to all points along the trail
• Practical advice for all budgets - including cafes, pubs and restaurants, plus B&Bs, hotels, hostels, bunkhouses and campsites
• Downloadable GPS waypoints - navigate confidently with or without a device

Detailed, reliable and inspiring, this Trailblazer guide offers expert advice, excellent mapping and everything you need to enjoy Offa’s Dyke Path, whether it’s your first long-distance walk or your next great walking challenge.
