Format:Paperback
My boyfriend and I decided to walk part of the Offa's Dyke path from Kington to Llanthony after the book told us that this was the most scenic part of the route. We are not overly confident with maps or compasses and indeed didn't know anything about the areas involved or the distance between each town/village. This book gave us all the information and ultimately the confidence we needed to enjoy a few days walking along the Dyke. It gave information on what to take, what facilities are available in the towns and how much walking is needed to walk from town to town. The maps were also fantastically detailed so that the book was all we neeeded to book our accomodation and complete the hike. I would consider it a must have for anyone thinking of doing the same.

We are experienced walkers and thought this would be as good a guide as they usually are - that is - with the occasional misdirection and/or difficult to find path. Although we only walked a couple of the sections of this path, we found this book was as near perfect as possible. We hope in the future to test it further but otherwise - Well Done.

This is an essential guide for anyone planning to walk the Offa's Dyke path. The detail of the hand drawn maps and narrative is great and you could almost do it without an OS map. The information on where to stay and where to eat is also very good.

Pretty good, except for maps
I used this book when hiking the path in 2010. It has plenty of useful information on the route and accommodation, which is always very welcome. Read more
