Offa's Dyke

Offa's Dyke Path is one of twelve designated National Trails. It is the only national trail to follow a man-made feature. Built by Offa, King of Mercia between 757 and 796 AD the dyke formed the boundary between England & Wales, running 182 miles from Prestatyn in the north to Sedbury , near Chepstow in the south. Men from the border country along... the Mercian (English) side all had to contribute: they could send food or they could build 128cm of dyke.
