Walking Holidays in the UK

An important section of Hadrian’s Wall is to be the subject of a restoration project over the next few months. A nearby dry stone wall collapsed in the 1980’s meaning a section of wall near Great Chesters Fort has been damaged by sheep, who have been climbing over the wall, causing damage in the process. They have also been feeding on important wild flowers and plants in the Site of Special Scientific interest on the far side. The Roman Wall is now to be repaired over the next few months, and the drystone is to be rebuilt, to keep to sheep out. Hadrian’s Wall remains our most popular walking holiday, and we are pleased to see the work is being carried out outside the peak season, which will allow the workmen to progress unhindered.
