A trail running holiday from Chepstow to Prestatyn along historic Offa’s Dyke.
From £545 per person
From Chepstow to Prestatyn along the Welsh border, Offa’s Dyke comprises earthworks 177 miles long. Over hills and through deep valleys, this 8th century barricade is shadowed by Offa’s Dyke Path: a challenging trail running route that will deliver you from the Severn Estuary to the Irish Sea.
The trail’s demanding gradients and historical credentials are clear, but the real joy of this run can be found running along the windswept ridges created by the dyke, in places as much as 25 feet high.
We also organise walking holidays along this route. Find out more.
From £545 per person
Offa’s Dyke South is a strenuous but satisfying route, characterised by rolling green hills, windswept vistas and welcoming villages with the perfect pubs and cafes for a hungry trail runner.
On your trail running holiday, you’ll cross the Welsh Borders from Chepstow to Knighton along the 8th century dyke, wending through the lush Wye Valley with stunning views across to the Black Mountains. It’s an undulating route, rising and falling over challenging hills that find their highest point in the Black Mountains, halfway through your run. But the gradients don’t ease up for the second half of the trail, with several steep ascents to conquer.
If it’s a challenge you’re after, Offa’s Dyke South is a great choice, with stunning scenery to pull you forward throughout.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
