Small section along the Offas Dyke path. Right next to the historic Dyke.
This section is absolutely stunning (in my view, at least!) The dyke is clearly visible (on your right, if you're coming down from the Devils Pulpit, and vice versa).
It is within some absolutely stunning woodland, and you've got spectacular views of the wye valley nearby; not to mention the Devils Pulpit itself.
