Offa's Dyke

A spider sat down beside her:
On a super September day, we explored Saxon King Offa's impressive earthworks dating from the 8th Century, from Brockweir. On route we stopped at Lydney's Taurus Centre and were the second customers at the new chocolate shop where we enjoyed our first coffee and  'Danish' prepared and served by a genuine Dane. The wooded walk beside ancient slab drystone walls was wonderful, finishing up by the River Wye; with a run home past Tintern Abbey. On a brilliant day, we kept our top down all the way!
