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.
Where did the materials come from to build Hadrian's Wall?
All the materials were sourced locally by the Roman army. Quarries can be found at various pounts along Hadrian's Wall. Lime was also found and prepared as close to the wall as possible.
