A town that straddles King Offa's eighth-century border as well as the modern Wales-England divide, KNIGHTON (Tref-y-clawdd, the "Town on the Dyke"), twenty miles northeast of Llandrindod, has come into its own as the most obvious centre for those walking the Offa's Dyke Path . Located almost exactly halfway along the route, it's a lively, attractive place that easily warrants a stopoff, although has few specific sights. The town is so close to the border that its train station is actually in England. From here, Station Road crosses the River Teme into Wales and climbs a couple of hundred yards to Brookside Square. Further up the hill is the town's alpine-looking Victorian clocktower, at the point where Broad Street becomes West Street and the steep High Street soars off up to the left, past rickety Tudor buildings and up to the mound of the old castle .
In West Street, the excellent Offa's Dyke Centre also houses the tourist office (Easter-Oct daily 9am-5.30pm; Nov-Easter Mon-Fri 9am-5pm; tel 01547/529424). Accommodation is plentiful: try Fleece House , Market Street (tel 01547/520168; GBP40-50), the basic but cheerful Red Lion , West
Street (tel 01547/528231; under GBP40), or the bargain Offa's Dyke House , 4 High Street (tel 01547/528634; under GBP40), which serves evening meals. Limited camping is available at Jenny Stothert's B&B (tel 01547/520075) at 15 Mill Green, down towards the river. For eating and drinking, it's hard to beat the comfortable Horse & Jockey , at the town end of Station Road. There's folk and jazz music in the Plough on Market Street.
