Walking east to west follows the path of Roman soldiers, starting in bustling Newcastle (with fantastic museums for context into the history and culture) and ending in the tranquil countryside.

Length and History: The wall originally stretched 73 miles long, 15’ high, and 10’ wide, and was built in AD 122 to protect the Roman Empire’s northern frontier.

Construction: Over 15,000 men built the wall in just six years under Emperor Hadrian’s orders.

Preservation: Only 10% of the wall remains today, with much of its stone repurposed for local buildings.

Location: While close to the Scottish border, Hadrian’s Wall marked the edge of the Roman Empire, not the England–Scotland divide. Most of Northumberland, one of England’s largest counties, is north of the wall.
