My second planned day of walking along Offa's Dyke incorporated another well preserved section south of Knighton.  I intended to walk many more miles today but ended up walking just a few.  However, I spent longer investigating the structure of the impressive rampart which, as experts suggest was topped by a timber palacade, would have made a formidable frontier.  I walked a section of the dyke, south of Knighton running south over Hawthorn Hill.  here the ancient monument is in good evidence snaking its way across the countryside.  I walked fore a mile or two before returning to the car and a visit to the interpretive centre at Knighton where the Offa's Dyke Association is based.  If you would like to learn more about Offa's Dyke or even join the association then please follow the links at the top right of this page.
