Hadrian's Wall Walks
2025-09-01
Total Distance: 12km
Difficulty: Medium
Getting There: Drive from somewhere nearby (Haltwhistle for us)
The picture above shows the 3 walks we did. The one that we would say is a must is the rightmost/pink one. It's also the one pictured below and the walk in the GPX file. It shows the "most" of what's left of the wall, has a ruined fort half way, and gets great views both from the wall and of the wall when walking back (depending which way around you go). Also has the (now) very sad Sycamore Tree Gap.
The Two Brewers is handily nearby with some pretty good beers, although don't expect much from the food.
While I'm not 100% sure I'd do these walks again (unless we were going to do the whole thing or something similar), I would 100% recommend this walk to anyone interested in Roman stuff or in walks in general.
