Please note that coronavirus lockdown restrictions in Wales are different to England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Even though the entire Offa’s Dyke Path is open in line with Welsh Government guidance and regulations, there are current Welsh Government Coronavirus (COVID 19) local lockdown restrictions which restricts access to the path.

It is illegal to enter or leave an authority area (also known as ‘local health protection areas’) without reasonable excuse. Walking the trail is not a reasonable excuse and breach of the restrictions is a fineable offence.

Protect the people you love. Download the Covid-19 NHS app.

Therefore, unless you live in the same local authority area, please do not visit these sections of the path for the time being. Please come back later when it is safe to do so and continue to follow Public Health Wales coronavirus latest information on keeping yourself and others safe.

Please note Offa’s Dyke Path crosses local authorities in England and Wales. The section affected currently is:

The entire northern section of the trail from Bronygarth, just south of Chirk Castle, to Prestatyn.

For full details of the restrictions see: https://gov.wales/local-lockdown

The following authority areas on the Offa’s Dyke Path are on local lockdown (in date order):

• Flintshire County Council (from 1 October 2020 6pm GMT)
• Denbighshire County Council (from 1 October 2020 6pm GMT)
• Wrexham County Borough Council (from 1 October 2020 6pm GMT)

Read more about the local lockdown restrictions which are in place for people living in these authority areas.

We will update this page as and when necessary
