Offa's Dyke Path in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park
Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site
The name refers to King Offa who ruled Mercia in the 8th century. The causeway was supposed to mark the border between his Anglo-Saxon kingdom and the Welsh kingdom of Powys.
It is often about eight meters wide and is elevated about 2.5 m above the lakes / wetlands.
The path starts in the northern Bay of Liverpool and ends at the mouth of the Severn, to date the southernmost point of the border between Wales and England.

Offa's Dyke Path
Highlight • Trail
The earthwork, which was up to 65 feet (20 m) wide (including its flanking ditch) and 8 feet (2.4 m) high, traversed low ground, hills and rivers. Today it is protected as a scheduled monument. Some of its route is followed by the Offa's Dyke Path; a 176-mile (283 km) long-distance footpath that runs between Liverpool Bay in the north and the Severn Estuary in the south.
Although the Dyke has conventionally been dated to the Early Middle Ages of Anglo-Saxon England, research in recent decades – using techniques such as radioactive carbon dating – has challenged the conventional historiography and theories about the earthwork, and show that it was started in the early fifth century, during the sub-Roman period.
