Walking in Hadrian's Footsteps

Eighty four miles, seven cooked breakfasts and six days walking from Newcastle to Bowness-on-Solway in the cold and rain. In 1987 Hadrian's Wall became a World Heritage Site and English Heritage, who now manage the Wall on behalf of the UK Government describe it as "the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain." In 2003 the Hadrian Wall Path was officially opened running from Wallsend on the East Coast of Great Britain to Bowness-on-Solway on the West coast. Travel with the author, meet the people he met and visit the places he stayed in the entertaining, funny and interesting tale of his walk following Hadrian's Wall through some of the most glorious countryside in Britain.
