Step back into Roman Britain on the 'Hadrian's Wall Walk From Whitley Bay – 8 Days' tour, a self-guided hiking adventure tracing the storied frontier built by Emperor Hadrian in 122 AD. This moderate trek stretches 133 kilometers across northern England, from the North Sea at Whitley Bay to the red sandstone city of Carlisle, weaving through cityscapes, moorlands, and World Heritage Sites.
Follow the path of the ancient wall—once a vital defensive line separating Romans from the 'barbarians'—as it snakes over ridges, dips through valleys, and emerges in surprising places from urban estates to windswept crags. Along the way, visit imposing forts like Birdoswald and Housesteads, marvel at the engineering of the Vallum ditch, and absorb the layered history that persists in every stone.
The route offers a rich variety of scenery and the comfort of carefully arranged accommodations, meals, and transport. You’ll experience the contrasts of bustling Newcastle, tranquil Eden Valley, and the wild heights of Highshields Crags.
The unique selling point of this walking tour is its immersive historical experience—perfect for travelers who want to walk in the footsteps of Romans, explore England’s past, and savor a journey through ever-changing landscapes.

Experience Roman Emperor Hadrian's legacy on a self guided Hadrian's Wall hiking holiday in northern England. Officially opened in May 2003 after many years of negotiations with landlords and farmers to finalise the exact route which stretches 83 statute miles/133 km across town and country, forest and moorland, World Heritage Site and National Park. The actual wall however, was started as long ago as 122 A.D! At this time The Roman Emperor; Hadrian was having a lot of trouble with the restless natives to the north; those devilish blue painted Pictish and assorted Caledonian warriors were causing mayhem across the wild Northern frontiers and hassling trade and settlement.
It became imperative to create some kind of order and consolidate the extreme North of the Empire, especially after one of the legion divisions was withdrawn from Britain to fight the German tribes leaving Britain under defended. The wall was built “to separate Romans from Barbarians,” across northern Britain at its narrowest point between the Solway Firth and the North Sea. In its original form it was built in 6 years over 73 modern miles (80 Roman ones). It was extended and enhanced with impressive stone defences following natural ridge lines and with a deep ditch (The Vallum) dug alongside it. Later much of the stonework was mortared allowing it to survive the centuries to become one of the oldest structures in the country today. The amount of work and finance that would have gone into the wall was immense; even with slave or conscript labour. Post forts were built every Roman Mile over the of the route. At intervals huge garrison forts were built so that a counter attack or a raid could be organised at short notice.
These included baths with hypocausts (underfloor heating). There were also gatehouses controlling access over the frontier forests and moors. So there must have been hundreds of skilled and semi skilled masons involved and thousands of labourers. Even stone was brought in by boat on the Tyne, to supply areas where it could not be cut locally. Things are more peaceful today, the Picts have disappeared altogether, absorbed perhaps into other tribes like the Scotti, the Romans have gone and much of the imposing defensive structures were dismantled and used for building and field wall stone. This means that you can enjoy “walking the wall” unmolested, on this alternative Coast-to-Coast route. It is a great walk, with a lot of scenic variety from the modern, busy cityscapes of Newcastle Upon Tyne to the red sandstone hues of medieval Carlisle, from industrial Tyneside to the quiescence of Bowness on Solway. From the barren blustery heights of Highshields Crags in the Northumberland National Park; to the lime green pastoral scenes of the Eden valley. Omnipotent along the route the Wall snakes its way. In sections interrupting a housing estate here, popping up under a road there. Then from being little more than a grassy bank it transforms into stone and rollercoasters over crag tops and down into impressive fort like structures such as at Birdoswald and Housesteads.
