Hadrian’s Wall is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United Kingdom. Every year, thousands of people visit the wall to learn about its history and admire its beauty.
The wall was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the year 122 AD. It stretches for 73 miles across England, from coast to coast. The wall was built to protect the Roman Empire from barbarian invasions. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visiting Hadrian’s Wall is a truly memorable experience.
You can walk along the top of the wall, explore Roman forts and ruins, and take in stunning views of the English countryside.

The landscape remains remote and incredible with a real sense of seclusion.

These various landmarks are broken throughout your walk where you can explore their history further by reading information boards or visiting museums.
Overnight accommodation: Chollerford
The Wall will continue to accompany you with small climbs as you pass near Vindolanda Roman Fort. A couple miles down the road, you’ll come across Harlow Hill – a small hamlet with an old pub called Robin Hood Inn which offers great food. The remainder of the walk goes along Hadrian’s Wall for about two miles, paralleling the B6319 highway which was built directly above part of the wall.
