Hadrian's Wall Path is a National Trail of some 84 miles (135 km) linking Wallsend, near Newcastle upon Tyne, with Bowness-on-Solway on England’s west coast. The Path shadows, for it’s greater part, the historic line of Hadrian’s Wall; it lies within a World Heritage Site, and there are many opportunities to explore the fascinating history of four centuries of Roman rule. It is also a walk of dramatic contrasts, starting amid bustling, redeveloped Newcastle and finishing on the lonely shores of the Solway Firth. This is the complete, official guide for the long-distance walker or the weekend stroller. All you need is this one book.

It contains:
·The entire route split into convenient sections
·1:25 000 Ordnance Survey maps for each section, marked with points of special interest
