Secondly the footage captures some beautiful English scenery in the hills of Shropshire.<\/p>\n<p>This was both a physical and spiritual journey following in the footsteps of Offa and our folk. Offa&#8217;s Dyke was a great achievement. At 170 miles long it is the longest earthwork in Britain, built without the aid of modern machinery.<\/p>\n<p>The film contains an image of the building of Offa&#8217;s Dyke which OR Media has kindly been allowed to use courtesy of Mark Taylor. His website http:\/\/www.wyrdart.co.uk\/ is worth visiting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This brand new film from OR Media traces the 23 mile section of the Offa&#8217;s Dyke Path between the Anglo-Saxon town of Kington and the village of Newcastle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1301],"tags":[357,1356,1364,1365,1366,1367,1379],"class_list":["post-361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-video","tag-featured","tag-mercia","tag-offa","tag-offas-dyke","tag-offas-dyke-path","tag-or-media","tag-shropshire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/odinic-rite.org\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
