Comprehensive this is the only companion you need to walk this well-loved path. Since it opened in 2003 Hadrian’s Wall Path has become one of Britain’s most popular long-distance paths. Its 84 miles are a convenient week’s walking shadowing for the most part the historic line of Hadrian’s Wall in its spectacular progress across the superbly wild landscape of the north of England. Starting in what used to be Tyneside’s shipbuilding heart and joining Newcastle in the east with Carlisle in the west it takes you via the extraordinary Roman forts of Vindolanda and Housesteads close to handsome towns like Hexham and Corbridge to finish on the lonely shores of the Solway Firth with views of Scotland. About the author Anthony Burton is the author of a number of books in the National Trail Guides series for Aurum including The West Highland Way Hadrian’s Wall Path The Cotswold Way and The Ridgeway as well as a biography of Richard Trevithick and Thomas Telford and numerous other works of industrial history.
