MenuOffa's Dyke, Denbighshire
Offa's Dyke is an ancient linear earthwork which lies partly in Denbighshire. Offa's Dyke is named after Offa, the Anglo-Saxon king of Mercia, who is traditionally believed to have ordered its construction. Although its precise original purpose is debated, it delineated the border between Anglian Mercia and the Welsh kingdoms of Powys and Gwent. A well-defined part of Offa's Dyke stretches northwards to the west of Bersham in Denbighshire. This part of Offa's Dyke is within the council area of Wrexham.
