Overview

Starting from Presteigne allotments we will head for the Motte and Bailey and then make our way up, via tracks, farm roads and footpaths, to join Offa's Dyke, where, weather permitting, we can enjoy magnificent views. After lunch, we will drop down into the tranquil Lugg Valley crossing over the B4356 at Dolly Green. Our return will be along farm paths and beautiful wooded tracks.
