Panoramic views west across the Wye Valley to the Welsh hiils beyond. The summit is a bit further east, marked by a wooden post.

Oldest man made structure in Herefordshire, and a rightly famous ancient monument in a superb setting.

Another incredible historic site. With free parking.

Great spot for a break

Great views. Can be a bit muddy in winter. Wear good boots

Choice of two absolutely brutal climbs from the Wye valley to get here but rewarded with fantastic views across the Golden Valley towards the Black Mountains. If that felt like hard work, think of the people who moved the 25 ton capstone up here!

Seeing the remains of Offa’s Dyke ancient earthwork is a highlight of walking the Offa’s Dyke Path between Kington and Knighton. Offa’s Dyke was constructed over 1200 years ago. The original earthwork is thought to have had a height of 8 feet and a width of up to 65 feet (including its flanking ditch). Despite weathering over the centuries its form remains surprisingly clear in places. A location where the remains of the Dyke is still clear occurs two miles north of Kington on elevated farmland near to the Wales border. Here the Dyke appears as a grassy mound with a ditch to its left (when viewed looking westward). It was inspiring and a great adventure to walk in the footsteps of history! A bonus of visiting this elevated site is that it provides on clear days fine eastward views across Herefordshire to the Malvern Hills 30 miles away.

Taking the footpath to the left (no cycling!) and walking for a few minutes you will reach the summit of Merbach Hill at a height of 318m. From the summit you can take in a vista of views. To the South East the meandering journey of the Wye can be followed with the Malvern's in the background. To the west the imposing Welsh Black Mountains fill the landscape, with Hay Bluff taking centre stage.
