Don’t miss...

Rob’s top picks along the trail

REDBROOK VILLAGE STORES

A fabulous shop right on the path in the Wye valley, with a stamping station for the Offa’s Dyke passport. redbrookvillage.co.uk

CHURCH TEAS

Churches at Llangattock Lingoed and Newchurch both have tea and coffee making facilities for walkers. You’ll also spot a few honesty shops/boxes along the trail.

WHITE CASTLE

A fantastic ruin right by the path in Monmouthshire: free to enter and a good place to stop for lunch between Monmouth and Pandy. cadw.gov.wales/ visit/places-to-visit/white-castle

LLANTHONY PRIORY

If you want to break the long section from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye , this is a great and unusual place to stay, and it’s signed to and from the trail on Hatterrall Ridge. llanthonyprioryhotel.co.uk

THE WALKING HUB

An amazing gear shop in Kington. It looks tiny from the front but has everything you might need, and the owner Ali is brilliant. kingtonwalkinghub.com

BY THE WYE

The Offa’s Dyke Path goes right through this stunning treetop glamping site on the edge of Hay-on-Wye. Min 3-night stay – good for exploring local sections of trail. bythewye.uk

OFFA’S DYKE CENTRE

Right by the trail in Knighton, it’s due to reopen soon with a brand new interpretive display, plus Dan Llywelyn Hall art and poetry to celebrate 50th anniversary of the path. offasdyke.org.uk/ offas-dyke-association/offas-dyke-centre/

CASTELL DINAS BRAN

A slight detour, but well worth the extra walk to this hilltop ruin and views of the Dee Valley and Llangollen. castlewales.com/dinas.html

LLANDEGLA COMMUNITY STORE

Great shop and cafe at the south of the Clwydian Hills, village-owned and run as a not-for-profit. llandeglashop.com
