==Promotion and media== Various bodies on either side of the border are collaborating on a [[sustainable tourism]] partnership, a principal focus of which is ''Walking with Offa'', both on the trail but also in what has been dubbed [[Offa's Country]] i.e. in a corridor along the border.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/wales/entries/2d59dab0-a1a5-3c80-9d0b-9517b9300704|title=Walking along an ancient border|date=9 November 2011 |publisher=BBC|language=en|access-date=15 April 2020}}</ref> The path was the focus of an episode of the [[Channel 4]] program ''[[Britain's Ancient Tracks with Tony Robinson]]''. In June 2021, during the footpath's 50th year, an Offa's Dyke Rescue Fund was launched to restore eroded and other damaged parts of the route and to buy parts of the path at risk of sustained damage or negligence from local land owners. The fund is working in consultation with [[Cadw]] and [[English Heritage]] and the [[National Trails|National Trail Unit]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Rescue fund is launched to protect ancient monument, Heritage groups join forces to prevent 1,200-year-old Offa's Dyke from crumbling away|newspaper=Shropshire Star|date=21 June 2021|page=3|first=Charlotte|last=Bentley}}</ref> On 22 August 2021, the BBC's ''[[Countryfile]]'' programme celebrated 50 years of the path.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000z3mq|title = Countryfile: Offa's Dyke Path |publisher=BBC One |date= 31 August 2021 |access-date=29 April 2024}}</ref>
