Walking Hadrian’s Wall is an incredible experience. The wall stretches for 84 miles across England, from the River Tyne in the east to the Solway Firth in the west. It is a fascinating piece of history, and walking its length is a truly memorable experience.
The wall was built by the Roman emperor Hadrian in AD 122 as a defensive barrier against barbarian invasions from Scotland. Today, it is a popular hiking trail, and there are many different ways to walk it. You can choose to walk the entire length of the wall in one go, or you can do it in stages, staying overnight in towns and villages along the way.
Whichever way you choose to do it, walking Hadrian’s Wall is an unforgettable experience. You’ll get to enjoy stunning views, learn about Roman history, and meet some amazing people along the way.
Itinerary
Check into your hotel in Chollerford from 1500. Arrive early and take a taxi to one of the local Roman attractions or simply relax before the trip.
Overnight Accommodation: Chollerford
From Chollerford, you will notice the landscape changing to be more remote. After a long section of uphill, you should find yourself at an even ground with a true feeling of seclusion. As a result, most of the wall and defenses are intact in this section – giving you the opportunity to enjoy milecastles, turrets, gatehouses, fortresses and temples. These various landmarks are broken throughout your walk where you can explore their history further by reading information boards or visiting museums.
Overnight accommodation: Once Brewed or nearby town
This next portion of the walk takes you to Gilsland via Milecastle 41, Cawfields, Great Chesters, and Aesica Roman Fort. You’ll see the trail from Hadrian’s Wall as it twists and turns its way over the rugged crags of Windshield. This final leg can be a little treacherous due to the rough terrain, so make sure you take care in wetter conditions.
Overnight accommodation: Gilsland or nearby town
Gilsland is in the middle of Cumbrian and Norhtumberland with the River Irthing making up the border. The terrain will vary a lot here – from one hill to the next. It contains some of the most-preserved parts of Hadrian’s Wall, as well as some sections that are in surprisingly good condition for how much time has passed. You’ll enjoy views that stretch for miles in every direction, including to the Lake District to the south-west
Please note, if choosing trip only bags should be left in Carlisle for return after the last section for collection.
Overnight accommodation: Carlisle
Enjoy a lovely breakfast before checking out of hotel
