[1 ]Exit the car park onto the road, turn right and go down the road for about 150 metres. Now take the left hand lane of the two lanes on the left (sign-posted Offas Dyke and Shropshire Way) to head downhill to the old lime kilns you can see at the bottom of the hill. Follow the lane round and up to Yew Tree Farmhouse. Continue up the bridleway past Yew Tree Farmhouse climbing quite steeply to reach a tarmac lane. At the lane, turn left and continue for approximately 100 metres to a stile on the right, way marked Offas Dyke and Shropshire Way. Go over the stile and then straight ahead to cross two fields and two stiles to exit onto another lane. Cross the lane to the stile immediately opposite and continue ahead on the Offas Dyke path for one field to exit onto a green lane via a stile.
(A) On this section you are actually walking on a section of Offas Dyke, with an obvious mound and ditch. The Saxon kingdom of Mercia was created around 757 – 796AD centred on the English Midlands. Offa’s Dyke marked the boundary between the Saxon kingdom and the independent kingdoms of Wales (Celts) The Dyke consists an earthen bank up to eight metres high with a ditch to the west. It runs from Treuddyn (near Wrexham to Sedbury Cliffs (Severn Estuary in Gloucestershire). At this point you can shorten the walk by turning right and walking along the lane to intersect a tarmac lane. Turn left at the lane and continue to re-join the main walk at point 5.
[2] To continue the main walk, cross the green lane and take the stile opposite. Keep straight ahead following the Offas Dyke path for one further field to a stile. Go over the stile and down the steps into a steep wooded valley, cross the bridge at the bottom and go up the steps on the other side to a pedestrian gate into a field. Continue ahead a further 20 metres to a stile that exits onto a tarmac lane. Take the stile diagonally right across the lane and go along Offas Dyke for approx. 25 metres to take the stile on the right. Now continue along Offas Dyke for three further stiles to exit onto a green lane Just to the left there is a board with information about Chirk Castle, Offa's Dyke & the battle of Crogen,
[3] At this point turn right leaving the Offas Dyke path (and Shropshire Way). Continue to the end of the green lane where it meets a tarmac lane on a bend (as you go along the lane look to the left for magnificent views of Chirk Castle). Keep straight ahead on the tarmac lane heading down hill, passing a farm on the right and a few cottages. Just after a sharp left hand bend and the cottages you will find a stile on the right. (Note that the path as marked on the OS Map does not align with the path on the ground here).
[4] Cross the stile and head up the field diagonally right to a kissing gate in the top right hand corner. Through the gate and continue on the same line to another kissing gate just to the left of the wood ahead (look ahead left for views of the Chirk viaduct and aqueduct). Go through the gate and continue along the field edge with the hedge to your right to a metal gate. Go through the gate and turn right. Go up the field for about 10 metres to a kissing gate and exit onto a tarmac lane. Go straight ahead up the lane climbing quite steeply for 0.75 Km to a transmitter on the left. Continue on the lane for a further 100 metres to a farm track on the left signposted Fronheulog .
[5]Take the track and at the farm skirt the by taking the track to the left of the buildings to a bridleway gate (The track again diverts from the line marked on the OS maps, but the correct path is indicated by a large painted sign on the side of an old shed as you come up to the farm). Continue along the green lane (way marked Restricted Bye Way) for approximately 1 km, crossing stiles and going through gates to exit onto a tarmac lane via a stile Go straight ahead on the lane for 100 metres, then at the no through road sign, follow the lane round to the right. Now continue along the lane for approximately 1Km passing a converted chapel on the right. Go round the left round the bend crossing the stream and then right to climb a short distance to join the road from the car park. Turn right and go up the road for 150 metres to return to the car park
