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.
