Walking Hadrian's Wall Path, you are stepping back in time, in the footsteps of the 2nd century legionnaires, on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian to build a 73 mile, coast-to-coast barrier across England at its narrowest point, in an attempt to hold up the advancement of the Picts and Scots
Completed in AD122 it took the soldiers of the 2nd and 6th legions just over a decade to build Hadrian’s Wall and their astonishing achievement remains the largest ancient monument in northern Europe and a Roman World Heritage Site
Carving its way through the rugged beauty of the Northumbrian countryside, from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east and Bowness on the Solway Firth to the west, you can enjoy the challenge of hiking from the East Coast to the West Coast of England
