- This video charts my walk along Offa's Dyke from Prestatyn on the north Wales coast to Sedbury Cliffs on the south coast.
The walk is listed as a National Trail of 177 miles in length, it takes in some beautiful scenery which I hope my video shows.
I camped along the way and walked on my own, it did not all go to plan but I think it's obvious from watching the video I enjoyed it (for the most part).
Happy to answer any questions, just pop them in the comments.
Keep safe, until next time.

Hi Jonathan excellent video the castle on the hill is Dinas Bran. Wonderful views lovely walk
'Fast becoming my favorite.' I like that Jonathan - and you were at one of my favorite local spots just below the Hay Bluff. A fantastic trail with you so far - glad you could make it back. Yeah it's rolling and gets deep outback. I noticed you stopped and admired the Radnor Forest before Kington. It's a great area to explore. You had some good pitches and stays. For sure the Black Mountains are a beast in fierce weather it's that open. Well, good to see you finally enjoy the lower Wye. Good going. All the best for 2024. Mark
Absolutely beautiful video and I really enjoyed watching it. New subscriber here from #RTBL
Really enjoyed the watch, looks like you have the camping pack etc well sorted , we had only walked the south end to Monmouth we did it in a series of roundish day walks
Very enjoyable watch - water supply is always a challenge on these types of walk. Congrats on completing the walk the scenery you captured is beautiful 👍
That was a great (two part) expedition. Looking forward to your future walks.
I personally knew that girl and , she , Offa really loved her😮😆
Really enjoyed that, keep it up, all the best.
Great video,
Really enjoying your videos Jonathan. Gives a great overview of the walk and helps me plan my own.
Very beautiful footage 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey 👋🏼 nice video! I’m planning on waking from Llangollen to Prestatyn at the end of the month so this gave me a really good insight thank you. Any tips? 👍🏻
Some lovely and dramatic scenery from there. I walked too many miles in what will be your first section, take your time enjoy. It’s hilly so don’t overestimate your distances.
Great video Jon, have you done the Limestone Link? Connecting the Cotswold Way to the West Mendip Way
No I haven’t but I will certainly look it up.
Now that looks like a nice walk. Thanks for taking us along, filming, editing and putting it all together, appreciated. How was it walking in saddles (part one)? Well done by the way. Glad to see you got over the bug bit. Had to make that call myself twice now, dang!! Least you got back, I'm kind of working on it :-) Anyhoo, thanks again, big thumbs up from me, atb and happy walking, new year to you and yours etc. Dave aka wackyswanderings
Thanks for that Dave, these things do take some time to put together and your comments are appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this and your open honest account of walking this part of Offa's Dyke. Great scenery, and now looking forward to planning a trip there. Could you tell me what the accomodation situation would be like? Do you need to rely on camping or is there alternative accomodation en-route..seems remote.
Thanks it is a stunning walk, camping is certainly possible all the way even without wild camping. This is accommodation on route other than camping, the trailblazer guide is a good source for this information
Looks a great walk mate, don’t you take a water filter with you .
I do have a filter but I got lazy with the maintenance of it and did not use my out of date water purification tablets. A lesson learned, I properly cleaned it before the second part and bought new tablets and had no problem with water from cattle troughs. As I used campsites in the second part and it was cooler the amount of water taken from cattle troughs was less.
@@JonathanDowe it’s a lesson you do not want to forget either .
On the way to Knighton you didn’t feel well. I note you take water from cattle troughs etc, do you use a filter or something like that?

Greatly enjoyed this account of the Offa's Dyke path. The southern half is familiar to me; it's really beautiful although sometimes surprisingly punishing. At least your forced break was around the halfway mark which made for a balanced video, although it must have been very annoying at the time.
@@catherinewalks1207 it really is a beautiful part of the country. It’s tough having to stop a trip, but really it would have been unsafe and unwise to continue. For me the way I approached each half was very different and made for an interesting comparison.
Hi. Reassuring because I use sterilization tablets and mine are out of date!😳
Any attacks from cows at all on this trail?
😁 not on this one.
@@JonathanDowe what time of year is this? Thanks
@@Pauladams2676 it was September for the first part and October from Knighton down
Hi. I’m not really into walking long distances or hiking, but have walked a few miles of the Offa’s Dyke path over the years as I live in Tutshill (Chepstow). Just wondering why walkers like yourself use hiking/walking poles on flat, level easy going ground?
@@hazefilmmaking8918 it’s a fair question and I can only answer for me. If my arms are doing nothing for long periods my hands can swell (it’s to do with the backpack), using the poles prevents this. Sometimes I honestly forget after walking up or down a hill and it’s just habit and at the end of a long day I’ll take any help I can get. Some people swear by them all day long, I don’t these days.
