The setting for Offa's Dyke Centre, Knighton is a
busy market town which annually attracts thousands
of walkers.
Situated in Powys, it lies on the England-Wales
border halfway along Offa’s Dyke, an earthwork
built in the 8th century by the Mercian king Offa.
It employed natural boundaries such as rivers and
hills.
The long-distance Offa’s footpath, which passes
through Knighton, runs from Prestatyn for 177
miles to Chepstow. |
