Overview

A moderate 4.5 mile walk which may be extended to 5.3 depending on conditions (mud).

It’s Wales, it's hilly, it's up, it's down, it's flat in parts! Total ascent 820 feet. Not too steep. From Craignant past lime kilns, walking along the top of Offas Dyke nearly all the way to Bronygarth. Mainly fields, tracks and lanes, About 12 stiles but all in good condition. Spectacular views of Chirk castle and the aqueduct.

Perhaps a pint in The Docks after?

Please car share where possible as the car park at Craignant isn’t very big. Also, mind the potholes on the way in!
Thanks
Richard
