Hadrian’s Wall stretches from the aptly named Wallsend in Newcastle Upon Tyne to the quaint village of Bowness-on-Solway in the west. The 84 mile (135km) Hadrian’s Wall Path takes hikers across the rugged countryside of Northern England, following the world’s largest Roman artefact. Hiking Hadrian’s Wall is one of the best ways to explore this British cultural icon. Immerse yourself while walking in the history and cultural significance of this ancient relic and its forts, listed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Experience small towns and villages, as well as bigger cities, as you walk through the scenic variety of Northern England. Spend your nights in country B&Bs and sample traditional British food and drink as you walk in the footsteps of the Romans.

Ensure you download the correct app - it has a crown as its logo. There is also an option to apply online but this is not the preferred method. It costs £10 to apply. Everyone travelling needs to get an ETA, including babies and children. see https://www.walkersbritain.co.uk/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-uk-eta for further information.
