The Welsh Marches is an imprecisely defined area along and around the border between England and Wales.
Offa's Dyke is a large linear earthwork that roughly follows the current border between England and Wales. The structure is named after Offa, the Anglo-Saxon king of Mercia from AD 757 until 796, who is traditionally believed to have ordered its construction
We can include visiting the Offa’s Dyke Centre at Knighton or the Welsh name of Tref-y-Clawdd (translates to the town of the wall) to learn about the construction of Offa’s Dyke and the Welsh Princes of the Anglo-Saxon period.
This interesting historical area can be included as part of our ' All of Wales Escorted Tours'
