Hadrians Wall Path was
opened in 2002 and has proved
an immediate success with walkers
from both the UK and abroad. The route
follows the line of Hadrian's
wall, constructed by Roman
emperor Hadrianus between AD120 and
128 to protect
the northern extreme of the Roman
Empire.
It crosses
the country from coast to coast
from Wallsend, near Newcastle,
through the rolling
border countryside of
Northumberland,
continuing to the historic city
of Carlisle and finally to the
flat plains of the Solway Coast.
Every mile there is a milecastle
with two
watchtowers in-between. Although
sections have been plundered
for local houses, the central
section is very well preserved,
as well as the various forts
and milecastles on the way.
We have a range of holidays
along Hadrians Wall, from a
3 day short break on the most
dramatic, central section of
the wall between Chollerford
and Gilsland. To a 6-10 day
walk over the entire length
of the National Trail.
