We hope the following information is of use to all those planning shorter or longer walks in the area round Offa's Dyke Path. We want to encourage you to use local transport when hiking, and to leave the car at home!

As the following information was gathered in December 2007, it is important to check the current timetable before relying on it. You can get information from the operators or from county public transport sections: the phone numbers are given below. Place names in CAPITALS are on or near the Path.
