Walking Hadrian’s Wall Path

What to expect

This eight day, self-guided adventure walking Hadrian’s Wall Path takes you along England’s iconic National Trail, from east to west. Start in Newcastle on the North Sea and complete your Roman ramble of 135km at Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, with some transfers to help you along the way from your cosy accommodations. Also a UNESCO site, walking Hadrian’s Wall Path is a journey not only to historic sites such as Vindolanda and Housesteads Roman forts but also through natural triumphs such as Northumberland National Park. One of the final stretches is walking along the River Eden into Carlisle, the ancient city just 13km south of the Scottish border.

If you don’t have time to do the complete Hadrian’s Wall Path, we recommend our six day highlights itinerary or our five day short break .

• Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO Site
• Newcastle Upon Tyne
• Northumberland National Park
• Housesteads Roman Fort

Please note: the default itinerary direction is east to west. When booking, you can opt to do it in reverse, which will not affect the tour price .

Day 1: Arrival in Newcastle Upon Tyne/Wallsend

Arrive in the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne. If time allows, head for a stroll along the Quayside, the city’s former commercial dockside, which is now home to a variety of bars and restaurants and boasts views of the famous Tyne Bridge. Alternatively, take the metro to the coastal town of Tynemouth, walk along the beach and visit the English Heritage site, Tynemouth Priory and Castlewalk.

• Accommodation: County Hotel in Newcastle or similar

Day 2: Wallsend – Heddon-on-the-Wall | 24km

The Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum is the official starting point for walking Hadrian’s Wall Path. Follow the River Tyne along Newcastle Quayside, walking under numerous bridges, including Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Continue west out of the city, towards the village of Heddon-on-the-Wall, located on the line of Hadrian’s Wall.

• Walking for the day: 24km, ↑170m ↓ 60m
• Accommodation: Hadrian’s Barn in Wylam or The Ship Inn in Heddon-on-the-Wall or similar

Day 3: Heddon-on-the-Wall – Chollerford | 24km

Today’s route follows Hadrian’s Wall and heads through the Northumberland countryside, where the Vallum that runs alongside the wall can be seen. The Vallum consists of a ditch and two banks and follows the length of the wall (except between Newcastle and Wallsend) and it is believed to have served as a boundary for the military zone during Roman times, but the exact purpose remains unknown. Head through the hamlet of Harlow Hill, past the landmark Robin Hood Inn and then on towards Chollerford. Sections of the wall can be seen in the village, as well as the 18th-century Chollerford Bridge, which stretches over the North Tyne and is located a short distance away from the original Roman river crossing.

• Walking for the day: 24km, ↑240m ↓ 320m
• Accommodation: The Hadrian Hotel in Wall or Linden House in Humshaugh or similar

Day 4: Chollerford – Once Brewed | 21km

Leaving Chollerford, follow the trail towards Chesters Roman Fort, the most complete Roman cavalry fort in Britain. Enter Northumberland National Park, heading past the most complete sections of Hadrian’s Wall, with the chance to visit Housesteads Roman Fort (payable locally) along the way. Continue on, following the crags, heading above Crag Lough and walking through the now infamous Sycamore Gap to Peel Crags. End the day of walking with the very steep Cat Stairs, leading to Steel Rigg, near the hamlet of Once Brewed.

• Walking for the day: 21 km, ↑415m ↓ 255m
• Accommodation: Twice Brewed Inn or Vallum Lodge in Once Brewed or similar

Day 5: Once Brewed – Walton | 24km

There is the option to visit Vindolanda Roman Fort (payable locally), before re-joining the trail at Steel Rigg car park to start today’s walk. Begin the day with a climb over Winshields Crags, up to the highest point of the trail at 345m, with views extending over the countryside and to some of Hadrian’s Wall’s best-preserved sections. Today’s route leads through Walltown Crags and past various historical sites, including the remains of Great Chesters and Magnis Forts, Walltown Quarry and the ruin of Thirlwall Castle. Cross the Cumbria-Northumberland border, taking a break at a local cafe or pub in the village of Gilsland, before continuing towards Lanercost.

• Walking for the day: 24km, ↑280m ↓ 450m
• Accommodation: Old Vicarage in Walton or similar

Day 6: Lanercost – Carlisle | 19km

Head past Birdoswald Roman Fort and descend to an observation tower on the wall, known as Banks East Turret. Continue on to Walton, from where the route leads through farmland, following the Vallum (ditch) line through the hamlet of Newtown. Walk along the banks of the River Eden for the final stretch of the walk, arriving into the historic city of Carlisle, located close to the Scottish border. Cultural highlights in Carlisle include its cathedral, castle and city walls, as it was originally a Roman settlement, established to serve the forts on Hadrian’s Wall.

• Walking for the day: 19km, ↑40m ↓ 100m
• Accommodation: Crown & Mitre Hotel in Carlisle or similar

Day 7: Carlisle – Bowness-on-Solway | 23km

The route continues on to Bowness-on-Solway, on the coast of the Solway Firth estuary, where the trail officially ends. Bowness-on-Solway is also part of Solway Coast AONB and is home to an array of wildlife. The Kings Arms pub is a great place to relax after your week of walking.

• Walking for the day: 23km, ↑30m ↓ 25m
• Accommodation: Inn at the Bush in Kirkbride or similar

Day 8: Departure

Departure after breakfast, or extend your stay with an extra night in Kirkbride.

Difficulty and terrain

This tour is rated moderate and is suitable for regular walkers. Most days offer 5-6h of walking and daily walking distances range between 19-24km. The route follows a mixture of paths, tracks and minor roads. Some of the paths can become very muddy and boggy, and negotiating this terrain can be slow-going at times. Parts of the route cross main roads, so extra care should be taken at these points when crossing. The route is waymarked with white acorn signs and is easy to follow ( read more about difficulty grades ) .

We strongly advise you to only follow marked trails and never try to shorten the path through unknown and unmarked terrain. We will provide you with detailed route notes and maps and you can call our 24/7 local assistance phone number anytime. More detailed information on route navigation will be included in your holiday information pack.

This trip is available from the beginning of March until the end of October . The flexibility of self-guided holidays means that there are no fixed dates, meaning you can start your trip on any date during the season.

During the spring months, wildflowers are in bloom and newborn lambs can be spotted in the pastures surrounding the trail, though some rainfall should be expected at this time of year. The weather is best from May to October, when there is less rainfall and therefore less chance of the trail being muddy. Temperatures from April to May vary from 10-15C, rising to an average high of 18C during the summer months. Temperatures drop again from September, as the walking season draws to an end, bringing colourful autumn foliage and meaning fewer walkers on the trail.

The Perfect 7-Day Itinerary for Walking Hadrian’s Wall Path

The Hadrian’s Wall path is an 84-mile hike running along the England/Scotland border and stretching from coast to coast. If you’ve seen our guide for walking Hadrian’s Wall , you know that there are pros and cons to walking east to west and vice versa. For our Hadrian’s Wall itinerary, we opted to walk east to west (read the guide to find out why) and complete the hike in seven days.

Seven days is the perfect time frame for the Hadrian’s Wall walk. You will push yourself while still leaving room to slow down and enjoy the scenery and sites along the way. Read on for what we think is the perfect 7-day Hadrian’s Wall itinerary!

Day 1 : Wallsend to Heddon 15.7 Miles | 25.2 Km

The first day of your Hadrian’s Wall walk will begin in Newcastle. Make your way to Wallsend to officially begin the trail. If you’re staying in central Newcastle, you can take a train, taxi, or bus to Wallsend. We opted for the train, which is efficient and affordable. It took us roughly 10 minutes to reach Wallsend Station, and from there we walked another few minutes to Segedunum Roman Fort. This is a great starting point because you’ll learn a little history of the Roman occupation of Britain. You’ll also get your first glimpse of a (smallish) chunk of Hadrian’s Wall!

Before you leave Segedunum Roman Fort, be sure to stop and get your Hadrian’s Wall Passport stamped for the first time—if you’re going east to west, that is! Ask the staff and they’ll provide you with a stamp. It’s official, you’re walking Hadrian’s Wall! 😉

After you’ve spent some time wandering around perusing the museum, it’s time to get on the trail. The day’s walk will be mostly urban and take you back through central Newcastle and to the other end of the city. Being surrounded by traffic and pavement can be tiring, but not to worry, the day’s hike ends at Heddon-on-the-Wall. This is a beautiful little town at the top of a rise (the climb is murder at the end of a day of walking, but worth it).

Pro Tip: Be sure to either pack lunch, or stop for lunch when you’re passing through central Newcastle. We kept putting off eating, thinking there’d be more pubs along the way, which meant we didn’t get to eat anything until we reached Heddon-on-the-Wall.

Where to eat

The Swan in Heddon-on-the-Wall. Great pub fare, cold drinks, and friendly staff. You can even order takeaway!

Where we stayed

Gaurav and I booked a room at  Wormald House in Wylam . Because Wylam was a few miles away from Heddon-on-the-Wall, we called ahead to request a pickup. Jayne and Ian own the BnB and were absolutely brilliant, giving us rides to and fro without a problem! They also provided us with a hearty vegetarian breakfast and packed lunches the next day.

If you do decide to book with Jayne and Ian at Wormald House (and we recommend you do!), take some time to detour to look at railway pioneer George Stephenson’s birthplace . George Stephenson is considered the ‘Father of Railways’ and his childhood home happens to be in Wylam. It was an easy walk from Wormald House and a fun detour for two train fans like us!

Day 2 : Heddon to Chollerford 16 Miles | 25.5 Km

Before hitting the trail for Day 2 of your Hadrian’s Wall itinerary, be sure to stop in Heddon-on-the-Wall and admire the first long section of the wall you’ll see on the hike. It’s incredible to stand next to something that is over 1900 years old! This is also the longest stretch of the wall which was built to the original “broad gauge” width of 10 feet.

Today’s walk will take you through fields and give you your first real taste of beautiful Northumberland. Some of it does follow along a major road, but you’ll be surrounded by greenery, which makes it much more enjoyable. If you’re walking in the spring or summer, you will start to encounter livestock. In the UK, it’s quite common for local farmers to open their land up to hikers. Just be mindful and respectful of sheep, horses, and cows and give them wide berth—especially if they’re with their young.

Where to stop

About 5 miles into the walk you’ll come across the Robin Hood Inn . This old pub/inn is a great place to stop and whet your whistle, or have a light lunch. This is also the location where you’ll get your second Hadrian’s Wall Passport stamp . The stamp is located inside a box next to the Robin Hood Inn’s main door.

We booked at Hallbarns Bed and Breakfast which is four miles from Chollerford. This meant another pick-up call. The farmhouse setting is idyllic and our host Tracee went out of her way to provide us with a last-minute vegetarian dinner. However, we did arrive at Chollerford later than expected, which seemed to upset our hosts a bit. And, since there weren’t any pubs or restaurants in the area, we had to pre-book a dinner at Hallbarns which was £22.50/person—beverages not included. This seemed a little steep for us, although the dinner was delicious.

Day 3 : Chollerford to Once Brewed 12.8 Miles | 20.5 Km

Day 3 of your Hadrian’s Wall itinerary is going to be one of the tougher days on the trail, but before you start putting miles behind you make a stop at Chesters Roman Fort and Museum on the outskirts of Chollerford. Seriously, don’t miss this as it’s one of the most complete and impressive Roman fort ruins in England. You’ll want to spend around 45 minutes wandering the ruins and pop in to check out the museum of items uncovered during excavations of the site.

Pro Tip: Chesters Roman Fort is open from 10AM – 5PM. So this is either the first thing you do in the day or the last thing you do the previous day, assuming you come in early. Keep that in mind when you’re planning. Also – this is the site for your third Hadrian’s Wall stam p . Your passport can be stamped at the museum entrance during normal opening hours OR it can be stamped at wall next to the car park entrance.

Once you’ve gotten your history fix, point your boots in the direction of Once Brewed. Today you’ll get to experience some of the most stunning views of the entire hike as you begin to steadily climb up. You’ll also see long portions of the wall rising and falling along the ridge and be able to walk alongside it. Every mile or so, you’ll come upon watchtower ruins. The Romans built these along the wall to keep an eye out on the more wild northern frontier.

You’ll also come along  Housesteads Roman Fort just before starting your ascent to Steel Rigg overseeing Crag Lough. Housesteads Roman Fort is where you can get your fourth passport stamp and it’s well worth a visit. It also boasts one of the oldest toilets that are preserved in a Roman fort.

After your detour of Housesteads , towards the end of your day’s walk, you’ll make a steep ascent to Steel Rigg and see a loch glittering at the bottom of a drop on your right. The pathway will lead you through immense trees before you begin to descend along narrow stones to find the most photographed tree in Northumberland!

Although it’s near the end of your walk today, stop and take a moment to appreciate Northumberland’s famous sycamore tree. It sits cradled in Sycamore Gap, keeping watch over the beautiful north.

If you’re spending the night in Once Brewed, there’s just one food option available: Twice Brewed Brewery . Call a few days beforehand to make a booking as there’s no guarantee you can just walk in and get a seat. The food is great and they have an impressive selection of beers that are brewed locally! Be sure to try the Sycamore Gap pale ale—a nod to Northumberland’s most photographed tree.

We stayed at Valum Lodge in Once Brewed, conveniently just 100 meters down the road from Twice Brewed Brewery. This was one of our favorite stays during our trip—probably because each room comes equipped with a foot bath/soak! Our host was absolutely lovely and made us feel right at home, and that pressure shower was divine after such a tough day on the trail.

Day 4 : Once Brewed to Gilsland 9.4 Miles | 15.1 Km

On day 5 the trail will continue to rise and fall, but it will be easier going than the previous day. Today you’ll climb to the highest point of Hadrian’s Wall and get some stunning views of the expansive valley below—probably the best view you’ll have on the trail! Very soon after, you’ll descend and the trail will flatten out and begin to move away from the wall, leading you through livestock fields. Sadly, you won’t be seeing long stretches of Hadrian’s Wall again after today.

Gilsland is also a village which straddles Northumberland and Cumbria and you will enter into Cumbria during your walk today, after crossing over the river. Look out for the sign welcoming you to Cumbria!

The Sampson Inn in Gilsland is an excellent place to pop into for dinner. Big portions, good food, and excellent local beers on tap. Even better, the locals hang out here, so you know it’s good.

We booked accommodation at Brookside Villa (which is literally by a brook, hence the name). The Bed and Breakfast was excellent. Clean, comfy, and very friendly hosts. Would book here again in a heartbeat!

Day 5 : Gilsland to Brampton 8.9 Miles | 14.6 Km

While today will be easier in terms of mileage and distance, you should expect to be on the trail around six hours. That’s because there is a lot to see along the way!

What to see

Birdoswald Roman Fort

This is your first stop a couple hours into your hike. These impressive ruins were once one of the most important forts in Britannia. It’s here that you will truly gain an understanding of the scope of Hadrian’s Wall and how impressive a feat it was. The Birdoswald Roman Fort museum is a lot of fun and offers plenty of fascinating facts about Roman history and Hadrian’s Wall.

(Fun random fact: Emperor Hadrian wore his beard long and curly—unlike his clean shaven predecessors—and this style became the fashion at the time!)

Birdoswald Roman Fort is also where you’ll get your fifth stamp on your Hadrian’s Wall passport. The stamp box is located outside, near the entrance to the fort. And for making the journey in the near future, the Sands Center in Carlisle (day 6) is currently undergoing renovation, so there’s a stamp for Sands Center here too.

Lanercost Priory

After a few more hours on the trail, you’ll come across the wonderful Lanercost Priory. This ancient 12th century priory is important because it was built using stones from Hadrian’s Wall (which explains why you see so little of the wall at this point in the walk!). The priory walls are still standing, though the timber roof rotted away long ago. Grab a bench outside and eat your lunch while admiring the view!

The priory has a rather interesting royal connection. King Edward I lived on the premises for almost six months in late 1306, while on his way north to invade the Scots. In the 1800s, the Howard family bought the priory and used it as a home. There are still several large tombs dedicated to different Howard family members inside the old priory.

A few miles further on the trail carried us to Brampton where we stayed the night at The Howards Arms . This was one of our more interesting lodging experiences because The Howards Arms is an old pub/inn as opposed to your standard modern bed and breakfast. Because of this, the rooms were a bit smaller, but had a lot of character! The Howard Arms’ claim to fame is that Charles Dickens stayed there during a book tour back in 1866. Each room bears the name of a Charles Dickens character (we stayed in the Bill Sykes room) and there are framed books and photographs of the famous author on every wall downstairs in the pub.

Day 6 : Brampton to Carlisle 16.3 Miles | 26.1 Km

Today is your longest day yet on the Hadrian’s Wall Path, but don’t be daunted. You’ll be walking through flat fields and residential areas. Keep an eye out for Honesty Snack Shacks along the way. These can be small shacks or even plastic crates full of snacks and drinks for hikers. You pay for what you take, so make sure you’ve got some cash/coins on you for today’s hike.

Our plan on Day 6 was to stop about 8 miles into our hike at a pub called the Stag Inn for lunch. Big mistake, as it turns out it’s closed! We recommend packing your own lunch or carrying plenty of snacks as finding food on this portion of the trail is difficult. Thank goodness for the Honesty Snack Shacks! A refreshing ice lollie can really make all the difference on a hot day—especially as there aren’t any other places to buy food along the way.

Aim to get into Carlisle early so you have time to explore Carlisle Castle . This was one of the most contested sites along the border and has a long history of sieges and occupations. This history is fascinating and the castle itself is very well-maintained and worth seeing.

Carlisle is a relatively large town (population roughly 110,000), so you’ll be spoilt for choice as far as food options. We had great Italian food at Casa Romana and potent cocktails at Yellowjacket . The city itself is very pretty, so if your feet aren’t too sore from the day’s hike be sure to walk around!

We stayed at Fern Lee Guesthouse. It was clean and the breakfast was good, but other than that we don’t have much to comment about it. The restrictive rules made it difficult to feel at home here, unfortunately.

Day 7 : Carlisle to Bowness-On-Solway 15.1 Miles | 24.3 Km

It’s your final day of walking Hadrian’s Wall! You’ve almost made it! Today’s hike will be scenic and as you near the sea you may start to feel that easterly blowing wind. A large chunk of the hike passes through the infamous marshes. This section literally looks like you could be walking along the edge of the world, and in a way it is—for the Romans it was the most northwestern tip of their empire. We got lucky with warm weather, but this section can be particularly hard on cold, rainy, or windy days as you have no protection from the elements.

The end of the trail is exciting because you’ll be walking parallel to the sea. On clear, sunny days, you can see Scotland across the water. Stop to take a deep breath of that fresh sea air before continuing on to Bowness-on-Solway. Follow the signs through the village and up to the promenade overlooking the sea. The Banks Promenade is where you’ll get your final stamp for your passport. You’ve reached the end of your Hadrian’s Wall walk!

Be sure to stop in Burgh-by-Sands to visit St. Michael’s church . This small church was built using some of the stones from Hadrian’s Wall, but it also has a rather bizarre history. In July 1307, King Edward I (yes, the same King Edward I who lived at Lanercost Priory) died nearby while on his way north. Those with him frantically sought out the nearest church, which happened to be the humble St. Michael’s. For 10 days, the King’s body lay in state here until it could be transported south back to London.

Just down the road from St. Michael’s, you’ll find a statue of Kind Edward I. It stands right in front of the Greyhound Inn —where we recommend stopping for lunch. Their sandwiches are delicious and it’s a good place to shore up some energy for the marshes which lay ahead.

Once you’ve arrived in Bowness-on-Solway, be sure to walk down to the beach to catch the sunset. It’s absolutely stunning, and a great way to end your journey.

There’s only one pub in Bowness-on-Solway, The Kings Arms . We recommended you book a table ahead of time as it can get busy with other hikers and locals in the evenings. Opposite the pub is also where you’ll catch the bus to Carlisle to take the train journey back home.

We booked two nights at the Wallsend Bed and Breakfast . The accommodations are clean, comfortable, and overall excellent. Our host Ashley was also always on hand to make dinner reservations and recommend small local walks to do. We couldn’t have imagined a better end to our Hadrian’s Wall walk!

Discover hadrian's wall.

You can hike in either direction, but it can often be a bit of a hot topic amongst the Brits (who love this route!)

East to West – Most Popular

The Romans built the wall from east to west - you can follow the same path that the Roman soldiers did when they constructed it almost 2000 years ago!

There are some great museums in Newcastle that give a wonderful context to the history and culture before you hike.

Connections are notoriously easier from the airport/train station upon arrival in the city of Newcastle.

Some say it is more enjoyable to hike out of the city and into the fresh air of the countryside rather than the other way around.

West to East

The prevailing winds in Northern England generally blow from the Atlantic (West to East). You will have the wind at your back for most of the journey, making hiking a bit easier.

• The terrain is less steep! Enjoy a slightly easier adventure for those who would like more mild terrain.

Since the Hadrian’s Wall Path opened as a National Trail in 2003, Macs has been arranging self-guided hiking itineraries in the area.

Depending on how many miles you wish to hike each day, Macs Adventure offers different lengths of itineraries ranging from the Best of Hadrian’s Wall , to the more leisurely and complete 10 day version .

You stay in comfortable, cozy accommodations in local B&Bs and guesthouses. We’ll take care of your luggage transport and you have access to 24/7 support should you need it, so you can spend your time enjoying the hiking and history!

How long is it and when was it built? This 73-mile-long wall was constructed in 112 AD, designed by Emperor Hadrian to separate the Roman Empire from the norther Barbarians. In its glory, the wall boasted 15 feet high and 10 feet wide!

Who actually built it? It took 15,000 men over 6 years to build the wall. Led by three Roman garrisons stationed in England and Wales, the troop were put to work constructing the wall. Hadrian himself had a keen interest in architecture, and is thought to have dreamt up the idea for the wall. Stone tablets sit at Chesters, where you can see the carved names of the centurions who actually built it.

How much of the wall still exists? Only about 10% of the original wall still stands today. While much of the land is still shaped to accommodate the wall, the stone itself has been repurposed or buried after the wall was abandoned. Many of the local buildings are even said to be built from the re-purposed stone from the wall!

Is this the border between Scotland and England? No. Actually, it marked the border of the Roman Empire! Most of Northumberland, one of England’s largest counties, is north of the wall.

Add an extra day: This will give you more time to explore the museums on the route, or just take a rest day! A great location for this is Once Brewed, where you can explore Housesteads Roman Fort. Check out this blog for more info! The 6 Best historical Sites on Hadrian's Wall Walk

Preserve the History and Practice Leave No Trace: Being so old, the wall is fragile and it is prohibited to climb or walk on the wall itself. While you walk, take note of the lumps and bumps in the road and avoid them! They may be hiding archaeological goodies underneath that could be easily damaged. Taking care of Hadrian's Wall: Protecting the wall

Look after your feet!: Ensure you have comfortable, waterproof footwear and a few pairs of great hiking socks. Consider hiking poles if you think you may want them, and bring a day backpack with all your essentials! What to Pack for Walking Hadrian's Wall Path

Hadrian’s Wall Path (various tour options)

Travel back to antiquity with our Hadrian’s wall self-guided walking tour following one of England’s most recognizable historical sites. A true UNESCO World Heritage treasure and the largest Roman structure that can be seen in present times. Day by day you will be tracing the monument coast to coast in its entire length feeling the deep connection with Britain’s ancestry. Hike through some of the most beautiful natural sites in England and get a glimpse of its wild side. Forts, milecastles, turrets, visitor centers, and museums will be your constant companions along the way. This is Britain’s most popular hiking tour and a world-famous top long-distance walking route. *We offer various options of this famous trail (incl. West to East itineraries!), so check with us for details, and also in case you are short of time or wish to make a longer (and easier) discovery the path. Why to walk from East to West (as per the standard option below)? Hadrian built his Wall starting in Newcastle, mainly for ease of supply of materials and military backup. Exploration of the Roman sites progressed westwards from Newcastle, and these are now archaeologically numbered and mapped in that direction, rather than for any walking. When Hadrian’s Wall Path was designated a National Trail, the National Trail Guide (the only guide at the time) described the Trail in this direction. This has since changed with the support of excellent guidebooks and maps, which caters for both directions, as the ones our local partners supply. Why to walk from West to East (check details for these options with us)? Walking Hadrian’s Wall Path from West to East is physically easier and typically more picturesque than the conventional East to West direction. Hadrian’s Wall was built across the beautiful, but wild Northumbrian countryside. Weather on England’s northernmost border can prove unpredictable; walking eastwards, in poor conditions, you have wind and rain at your back, not driving against you. In fine weather (come summer there is plenty), the afternoon sun is behind you, not in your eyes and the emerging light brings those far flung corners of the terrain into focus. Many classic views are arguably best seen from West to East – such as Crag Lough, Cuddy’s Crags, Sewingshield Crags and Limestone Corner. Walking East from Solway coast to Wallsend, Roman sites become progressively interesting. Each day peels back insights and examples of everyday Roman military and domestic life as you head from Carlisle towards Newcastle-which seems anti-climactic when travelling East to West. Plus, Newcastle is a wonderful place to end your walk and perhaps spend an extra day of your trip.

Hadrian's Wall travel FAQs

What should i pack for a hadrian’s wall tour.

Ensure you bring plenty of comfy clothes, a daypack and a pair of hiking boots or walking shoes that have been worn in (this is important as you don’t want blisters early on in your trip!).

You might also need a hiking stick as some sections of the crags (hills) are rocky and steep.

It rains a lot in Northumberland, so you’ll need a warm, waterproof jacket no matter what time of year you visit. 

How difficult is walking Hadrian’s Wall?

This walking trip is a point-to-point walking itinerary, and while it doesn't require a high level of fitness, it’s essential to be at least moderately fit if you want to partake in all activities.

Some days of walking include undulating hill sections and uneven terrain, so you might want to consider bringing walking poles to help you. 

Can you cycle along Hadrian’s Wall?

Hadrian's Cycleway is part of the National Cycle Network and covers 170 miles (275km) from Ravenglass in the Lake District (on the Cumbrian Coast) to South Shields by the North Sea.

The route follows Hadrian's Wall, and you'll be able to access many sections directly (or hop off and explore on foot), but you can see more by walking as the walking trail follows the wall and historical sites more closely. 

When is the best time of year to walk Hadrian's Wall?

The folks at National Trails recommend walking Hadrian's Wall between May and October as the weather is mild and the soil is drier, which is better for reducing wear and tear on the trails.

Summer is the busiest season, so you'll share the trails with more people.

You can still visit in the cooler months, but just note that the weather is cold and wet (particularly in winter), and the days are very short, which isn't great for walking.

How do I get to Hadrian's Wall?

The easiest place to start your Hadrian's Wall adventure is in Newcastle (in the east) or Carlisle (in the west), as these cities are well connected to the rest of the  UK  and  Europe  by road, train, bus and air. 

You can travel to Newcastle or Carlisle by train from London, Birmingham and Newport in the south, and Glasgow and Edinburgh in the north, or take a coach with Megabus or National Express to Newcastle and Carlisle from London, Manchester, Leeds and various other cities in the UK. 

Once you arrive in the Hadrian's Wall region, you can take the Tyne Valley Railway, 685 bus or AD122 bus to travel between the east and west of Hadrian's Wall.

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Old Arbat District: the Art Quarter

• Description
• Choose date

Holidays are bright and colourful, we all love them because they form a ray of light amongst the grey monotony of the daily grind. Arbat is a real street-holiday, where it is always noisy and fun: people meet, walk, watch the performances of talented street artists with clowns, singers and dancers strutting their stuff. Right on the pavement, artists proudly exhibit their works.

There is a very special atmosphere here that has long attracted representatives of the creative intelligentsia. L. Tolstoy and S. Yesenin, A. Pushkin and his young wife N. Goncharov, A. Blok and B. Pasternak are fondly remembered by the hallowed paving stones along Arbat. It is of no surprise that the heroes of the famous novel ‘War and Peace’ were ‘registered’.

We would like to invite you to take a walk with us along the historic Old Arbat! We will talk about the history and architecture of the most romantic street in Moscow.

• You will hear a lot of interesting facts about the grand houses that were located here and their wealthy residents.
• You will learn how a once inexpensive inn for carriage drivers has since turned into one of the best restaurants in the capital!
• You will see the famous house where A. Pushkin and N. Goncharova spent their honeymoon and stand at the wall dedicated to the memory of post punk/new wave icon Viktor
• You will be carried away down the beautiful side streets such as: Bolshaya Afanasyevsky, Nikolopeskovsky, Filippovsky, Krivoarbatsky. In a bygone era, these streets were part of Arbat and were bustling with its spirit.

B.Okudzhava dedicated some of his lyrical poems to Arbat, his favourite street from childhood. A. Rybakov, author of the famous novel ‘Children of the Arbat’ also lived here. There is also a little corner of Bulgakov's Moscow on Arbat - the former Torgsin store (now the ‘The Seventh Continent’), where the novel ‘The Master and Margarita’ unfolded.

Every house on Arbat is a piece of history, and we will dive into this history head first.

Hadrian’s Wall History & Hiking Trail

Hadrian’s Wall has so much to offer. Hike along the adjacent path . Discover ruins of the Roman Empire’s most northern barrier in Britain. Experience the peace and quiet of England’s wilderness. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient wall has so much to offer in terms of history and scenery. The Wall, forts and watchtowers along the 135km stretch truly demonstrate the advanced nature of the Roman Empire’s military and construction techniques.

An Overview Of The Walk

This walking route is considered to be one of the easiest long distance trails in England. Reaching from Wallsend on the east coast of England to Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast, the wall stretches for 135km (or 84 miles). The route is comprised of a mixture of footpaths, fields, well-maintained tracks and very few climbs. This mostly flat and even surface means that the Hadrian’s Wall walking route can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. If you don’t fancy tackling the full 135km stretch, there are options to just walk certain parts of the wall over 4 – 11 Days.

From East to West

Given that the Romans began building the wall from east to west, this is the most popular direction to walk the route. Many walkers also feel that it is ‘more natural’ to walk out of a big city into open countryside and it also makes getting to the start of the walk easier. Leaving the city of Newcastle behind, the scale of the Romans’ project becomes increasingly clear as more forts and watchtowers come in to view.

The mid-portion of the hike, between Chollerford and Lanercost, is where you truly get to experience the wilderness of the countryside. Some of the most important and well-preserved ruins are here, such as Housesteads and Vindolanda.

Some undulating terrain, well preserved Roman ruins and quaint little villages later, the wall ends (not in Wallsend as you might expect), but in Bowness-on-Solway.

Sycamore Gap

Sycamore Gap was one of the most photographed spots along the wall, as well as in the whole of Northumberland National Park. Having been used as a filming location for “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”, it is immediately recognisable. It was felled in the early morning of 28 September 2023 in what the authorities described as “an act of vandalism”.

Hadrian’s Wall History

Step back in time.

In and around 122AD, Emperor Hadrian visited the north of England to inspect the construction of his wall. The purpose of Hadrian’s Wall is debated. It was commonly considered to be the border between England and Scotland; however this is not the case. It does mark the northern-most boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain, leading some to believe that it was constructed as protection from the barbarians in the north.

The effectiveness of the Wall for this purpose is, again, debated. Whether it was capable of preventing or hindering attacks from the north, the Wall is certainly a demonstration of the might and advanced construction capabilities of the Roman Empire.

It is estimated that three legions of Roman infantrymen worked on this project. Each legion was roughly 5,000 men strong, taking them approximately six years to complete construction.

Construction – Take One

At the beginning of construction, the Wall was planned to be roughly 3 metres wide and around 4.5 metres highs. Good use of the surrounding landscape was made as the Wall and accompanying structures were built on crags and ridges. This provided high vantage points and clear, unobstructed views over the north.

At mile intervals, small forts and gates were constructed. There are called milecastles. Upon excavation and examination, each milecastle was thought to have housed 5 to 8 men. Different features were incorporated into each structure – some had ovens and stoves, some had staircases while others were completely basic.

Between each milecastle there lay two watchtowers. These were always made from stone and provided excellent viewing points over the north. In the early stages of construction, it is thought that security wasn’t a major concern as doors and entrances were built at ground level.

Construction – Take Two

Later on in construction, forts and extra security measures were introduced. We can only hypothesize that perhaps the Romans witnessed an influx in attacks from the north in this time. Focus was put on increasing garrison numbers at these forts and the ease of movement from within. Between 500 – 1000 troops were estimated to have been stationed in each fort so double gates were utilised to assist in this movement.

In certain sections, a large ditch was dug with mounds of dirt at either side. This would be nearly impossible for anyone to traverse without assistance from the crossing points, which were greatly reduced in number.

As construction phases ensued, there was a decline in the high standard of work. The Wall’s dimensions were reduced and shoddy craftsmanship is evident. This may indicate to us that the Romans were suddenly in a rush to get construction completed.

Hadrian’s Wall Facts

• Hadrian’s Wall is said to be George R. R. Martin’s inspiration for ‘The Wall’ in the Game of Thrones series. This wall is around 700 feet high and made from solid ice.
• Abandoned just a couple of decades after construction was completed, Hadrian’s Wall abandoned and replaced by another wall even further north. This was called the Antonine Wall. This wall was subsequently abandoned and Hadrian’s Wall re-occupied.
• Hikers can follow Hadrian’s Wall as it traverses from one Coast to the other in England. A truly rewarding and scenic hike.

Hadrian’s Gate Tours and Tickets

657 Reviews

Hadrian's Gate or Üçkapılar ("The Three Gates" in Turkish) is a triumphal arch located in Antalya, Turkey, which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in the year 130. It is the only remaining entrance gate in the walls that surround the city and harbor. The gate was discovered by Irish-British hydrographer Rear Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort in 1817. Hadrian's Gate consists of two colonnaded facades, three entry arches rising above four pylons and a tower standing on either side. It is about 8 meters (26.2 feet) high. The Southern Tower, known as the Julia Sancta, is from the Roman era but was likely built independently of the gate. The bottom section of the Northern Tower is from Roman times, but the upper part was rebuilt in the first half of the thirteenth century AD during the reign of Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubat I and contains an inscription in Arabic script. It is considered to be Pamphylia's most beautiful gate. The upper part has three apertures in the shape of a cupola, and except for the pillars (made of granite) is built entirely of white marble. The three passage ways are decorated with floral and rosette reliefs. The ornamentation is very striking. The original gate was two stories, and although little is known of the top story, it is believed to have held statues of the emperor and his family. An entablature on the top of the Gate extends to both sides with a height of 1.28 meters (4.2 feet). It includes a frieze decorated with floral motifs and an ornate cornice with lion heads. Formerly the city walls enclosed the outside of the gate and it was not used for many years. This may be the reason why it has not been harmed, and it was only revealed when the walls collapsed in the 1950s. The gate was restored in 1959. The pavement was stripped away to reveal the original Roman era walkway, which can be seen through perspex flooring while walking through the main arch. Visitors to the Gate can look down and see incredibly deep grooves where the pavement was worn away by countless carts passing in and out of the city. When the gate was uncovered and restored, a dozen bronze letters were found at the foot of the gate. These letters were part of an inscription honoring Hadrian. As of 2017, the letters are split between different museums and private collections around the world. Nine letters are in Vienna, two are in Berlin, and there are some in England, at the British Museum in London and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It is believed the missing second story would have also held an inscription. According to local legend, Sultana Belkis, the Queen of Sheba, is said to have passed under those gates and enjoyed a happy day in the palace in Aspendos on her way to visit King Solomon. However, if she did so, she would have passed through a predecessor version of Hadrian's Gate, as she and Solomon lived approximately a thousand years before Hadrian.

• There is no admission charge and the gate is always open.
• There are numerous places to eat and drink along Atatürk Boulevard.
• Hadrian’s Gate is not wheelchair accessible; passage through the gate is via two flights of stairs.
