Hadrian’s Wall Path

7 days walking, based in Hexham

Our tour base

Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail runs for 84 miles (135kms) across the north of England linking Wallsend near Newcastle-upon-Tyne with Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast of Cumbria. Once it has emerged from the bustle of Tyneside the path closely follows the historic line of the Roman wall and therefore lies within a designated World Heritage Site for much of its length. Some of Roman Britain’s most important sites, such as the forts at Housteads and Vindolanda, lie on or close to the Wall, and we shall allow time to visit these and other major historical sites.

In addition to the obvious interest provided by Hadrian’s Wall, much of which is remarkably intact, the route enjoys some breathtaking North Pennine scenery, particularly in its mid section around Steel Rigg and Sewingshields Crags. Hadrian’s Wall can be seen marching into the distance, taking in its stride a succession of craggy outcrops and undulating hills, each of which afford outstanding views across the surrounding countryside. Hadrian’s Wall Path offers a unique opportunity to combine the satisfaction of walking coast to coast with an exciting historical theme.
