The Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail
A walking holiday on Hadrian's Wall gives you the time to Immerse yourself in Hadrian’s Wall. This is a fascinating and rewarding journey alongside one of Britain’s Iconic landmarks. Hadrian’s Wall is Europe’s largest surviving Roman monument and a UNESCO world heritage site. The Hadrian’s Wall Path was opened in 2003 and follows the course of this Roman barrier closely along it’s entire length, it is fast becoming one of Britain’s most popular long distance paths.

Your journey starts in the vibrant city of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and takes you through the wonderful empty landscapes of Northumberland and then on into Cumbria, finishing at the mouth of the River Solway amidst the outstanding natural beauty of the Solway Firth. Along the way you will be constantly amazed by the ingenuity and determination of the Romans in their quest to control this far flung corner of their vast empire. The wall is punctuated by regular forts, milecastles and turrets as well as regular museums and visitor centres to assist you in your journey of discovery. Not forgetting of course that you will be walking through some of the wildest and most beautiful scenery that England has to offer. Anyone with an interest in photography will be handsomely rewarded with magnificent light and breathtaking subject matter.

"We were really pleased with all the organisation, information pack, guide book and in particular, delighted with the accommodation booked for us which suited us perfectly. Our luggage was always there when we arrived and a welcome sight when tired and perhaps rather wet. This is the first time I have done a long distance walk with the support of a company and luggage carrier and I would recommend Macs Adventure to others who I know are planning a similar trip. So very many thanks!” - Alison Johnston (UK)
