Hadrian’s Wall was built on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian when he visited Britain in AD 122.
At the start of his reign there had been fighting in northern Britain and to strengthen this part of the Roman Empire Hadrian took the decision to build Hadrian’s Wall. Hadrian’s Wall was a permanent barrier to create a frontier as in other parts of the Empire.
The city of Newcastle upon Tyne is the main city in the North East and Hadrian's Wall runs through it. The eastern edge of Hadrian's Wall is located at Wallsend within Newcastle Upon Tyne so the city offers a vibrant base for those preparing to walk the wall or exploring Northumberland.
