The Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail is a fascinating and rewarding coast to coast walk from the North Sea to the Irish Sea alongside the iconic Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England. It is Britain’s biggest Roman archaeological feature and an UNESCO World Heritage Site and opened in 2003. Hadrian's Wall is located near the border between modern-day Scotland and England and follows the course of the Roman wall closely. The route is one of Britain’s most popular long distance walks.

The Hadrian’s Wall Path is 84 miles long, which is equal to 135 kilometers. The route is divided into 8 stages, from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway. You can also choose to do this walk faster, and walk the whole trek in 6 stages. You can check this 8-day package here.
