HADRIAN'S WALL PATH | Rucksack Readers hiking guide

hiking guide

Hadrian's Wall Path runs for 85 miles from coast to coast along the line of the Roman Wall completed in AD122 under the Emperor Hadrian. This National Trail crosses northern England from Irish Sea to North Sea and offers many chances to look at the forts, milecastles and interpretation centres within this UNESCO World Heritage Site. "I was most impressed by this guide. It contains a wealth of information, offers more detail, and fills in more gaps in my knowledge than I thought possible" said Compass Sport.

This guidebook is almost unique in giving equal space to walking the route from west-to-east and east-to-west. It explains clearly the pros and cons of each direction, with all you need to plan and enjoy a classic week's walking in a compact package:

• detailed west-to-east and east-to-west route descriptions updated in late 2025
• mapping at 1:50,000 on 43 pages with miles numbered for each direction
• history and anatomy of the Wall, with details of forts and visitor centres
• wildlife explained and illustrated for the various habitats
• information about public transport, travel and accommodation
• lavishly illustrated, with over 100 colour photos on rainproof paper.
