Hadrian’s Wall Country is a walker’s paradise. The scenery is stunning and immensely varied, there are routes for all abilities, and the history, sights and facilities along the way are superb.
Follow in the footsteps of Roman patrols alongside the famous Wall, the best preserved frontier of the entire Roman Empire. The opening of the Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail provides a unique opportunity to enjoy both the Roman Wall, designated as a World Heritage Site, and the outstanding countryside in which it is set. The new 84 mile (135km) National Trail provides a continuous long-distance path from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria.

Many of the walks and attractions can be reached by public transport using Tyne Valley Line trains, the Hadrian’s Wall Bus* (service AD122), scheduled bus services or the Tyne and Wear Metro. Train passengers can follow walks on leaflets showing routes linked by the railway, going from station-to-station via picturesque countryside and places of interest.
