       | Offa's Dyke goes through my hometown.
       | 
       | Devil's Pulpit is a great spot on the path, you get a great view
       | of Tintern Abbey, near the start of the walk.

       | >Tony walks Offa's Dyke, an earthwork pathway that runs along the
       | border between England and Wales named after the Mercian King.
       | Along the way he talks about William Wordsworth, takes in the
       | reputed resting place of King Arthur and brings to life stories
       | of the Welsh dragon.

           | Even better if they sell secondhand books... bit cheaper and
           | better for the environment!
