This tour, created by The Carter Company, covers the full Hadrian’s Wall walk but they are happy to tailor the tour length and daily walking distances to suit.

If you want a thoroughly good walk through history across stunning, unspoilt, open northern English countryside taking you almost coast to coast, then following in Emperor Hadrian’s footsteps is the hike for you.

From the salt marshes of Bowness on Solway, past Carlisle and the dramatic Whin Sill to the Tyne bridges of vibrant Newcastle, you encounter the details of life from two thousand years ago.  Inspect a string of Roman forts from Chesters with its bathhouse and underground storehouse used by Roman soldiers to the barrack blocks and hospital at Housesteads where you can peer into the oldest toilets!

Visit Vindolanda housing the oldest surviving hand written document in Britain and walk past milecastle after milecastle where a garrison of 10-30 soldiers guarded each mile of the border wall against marauding Scots.

To this World Heritage walk they have added wonderful stays in boutique luxury hotels and a castle, with private transfers at the start/end of each day and to key related Roman sites.
