National Trails

A trail of two countries

A trail of two countries

My obsession with the UK’s National Trails has taken a bit of a backburner recently, but I decided to go in search of another starting point. This time, I looked for the trail that practically divides two countries - Offa’s Dyke Path. The path is a wobbly straight line hovering around the border between England and Wales, following the 8th century Dyke construction by King Offa. Lots of history. I only did a few kilometres of the actual path, and it’s a weird mixture of housing estates and hilly woodlands.
