Offa's Dyke Path is the 177-mile (283-km) National Trail along the man-made dyke that gives the Path its name. This volume features the southern section of the Path. This is the complete, official guide for the long distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book. It contains the entire route split into convenient sections; 1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest; circular routes off the trail for shorter walks, enabling the walker to explore the local area; route information on each section, with color photographs and notes on nearby features; background information on local history, wildlife, archaeology, geology, industry, and land use; details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organizations, and sources of further information on accommodation; and the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside.
