Walk Hadrian’s Wall

The Wall runs 73 miles from Wallsend on the Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway, and the Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail follows it the whole way — past the forts, milecastles and turrets listed below, and over the Whin Sill crags around Housesteads where the stonework stands highest.
