The Hadrian’s Wall Walk follows a 73 mile path across the north of England.
The Emperor Hadrian visited Britain in 122 AD, and ordered Hadrian's Wall to be built between the Solway Firth in the West and the River Tyne in the east. Hadrian's Wall ran 73 miles across open country through Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne & Wear.
Hadrian's Wall was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and in 2005 it became part of the larger "Frontiers of the Roman Empire" World Heritage Site which also includes sites in Germany.
