About the Author
Professor Maud was born in Yorkshire and has lived since 1949 in the US and Canada; but his Welsh ancestry, his many visits to Wales, and the great teachers among his Welsh friends have given him the authority to write this guide as a bridge to visitors to the real Wales.

1.1 Offa's Dyke Centre, Knighton
Knighton has been designated its new Welsh name on the basis of Offa's Dyke: Trefyclawdd ("Town of the Dyke")-abbreviated on some maps as Trefyclo. The dyke itself is signposted at the bottom of the field in front of you. You may find it a disappointment, for age and growth have blurred the distinctness of the earthworks. A pamphlet in the Offa's Dyke Heritage Centre will explain that it was never meant to be an effective military barrier, but represented a compact between Offa and the Welsh.
