A self-guided trail running holiday from Chepstow to Prestatyn along historic Offa’s Dyke.
From £800 per person
Sharing a mindset with Emperor Hadrian, the Welsh King Offa built his 8th-century Dyke as a barrier between Wales and England.
Extending 177 miles (285 km) from Prestatyn to Chepstow, often on or alongside the original dyke, this challenging trail running route offers both hills and rewards aplenty, with glorious vistas and little-seen views into secluded valleys.
In places the dyke remains as much as 25 feet high. Nothing quite beats the joy of galloping along on raised ground such as these windswept ridges.
This route can be run in the opposite direction upon request. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

This itinerary lists our preferred overnight stops for this tour. Sometimes there may be a shortage of available accommodation in a preferred location, in which case we will transfer you from the trail to your accommodation and back again at no extra charge. Overnight stops marked with a (T) will always require transfers as standard.
Overnight stops marked with an (L) have very limited accommodation, and therefore more often than not will also require a transfer, particularly on bank holidays and weekends. We will use non-transfer accommodation wherever possible.
The daily mileages quoted are average trail miles only and do not include the distance from the trail to your accommodation. We do not expect you to have to travel more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
Below are the additional costs that may apply depending on your requirements. Dog-friendly tours are subject to a Daily Dog Charge, which will be listed below if applicable. Our standard prices per person are based upon two people sharing a room; if you are on your own, or are part of a group but require a room of your own, then the Solo Traveller or Single Supplements apply respectively:
