Car Free Walks newsletter 13

Walk here...

The Offa's Dyke Path, on the Wales–England border, is fine walking territory. And thanks to the Offa Hoppa buses, it's easy to get around car-free. Several of their bus walks can be found on our website and their is more information about walking in the region on their own website.
