Things to do in Hadrian's Wall
Step back in time to when Romans ruled the world at Hadrian’s Wall. Built in 122 AD, it’s one of Britain's most impressive Roman ruins. With a backdrop of rolling hills and natural beauty, it’s no surprise it’s a famed UNESCO site too. It’s the perfect day out for some fresh air and history combined.
Spanning the width of northern England – that’s a 6-8 day walking journey – it was originally built as a 73-mile-long defensive fortification to protect the Roman Empire from wild Barbarian tribes. Imagine what life was like for the soldiers who once patrolled these ancient ramparts as you walk along the stone wall.
This incredible feat of engineering also offers visitors the chance to see forts, milecastles and temples along the way. It’s also a place of breathtaking views, nature and wildlife. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a leisurely stroll, the surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for adventure.
