The essential guidebook to walking the 135km (84 mile) Hadrian's Wall
Path. One of the UK's most visited National Trails, it runs the length
of the Roman Wall from Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria to Wallsend,
Newcastle.
The trail is presented here in 10 stages, with suggestions for five and
eight-day itineraries.
It is suitable for beginners, although a
reasonable level of fitness is required if doing it as a multi-day walk.
The route is described both west to east and east to west, and the
guidebook also features an extension through Newcastle to South Shields
on the east coast.
This guidebook contains a wealth of information on the history of the
Wall, and a range of practical information for walkers, from
accommodation and itinerary planning, to details on public transport and
refreshments. A separate map booklet of 1:25,000 scale OS maps shows
the full route. Clear step-by-step route descriptions in the guide are
illustrated by 1:100,000 OS map extracts.
The route description links
together with the map booklet at each stage along the way, and the
compact format is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket
or the top of a rucksack.
