A Roman Coast-to-Coast walk from the mouth of the Tyne to the Solway Firth following the course of the greatest relic from the Roman occupation of Britain which lasted 400 years. Varied scenery and constant interest make for a world class long distance path right across Northern England. Along the way you will pass the sites or remains of the wall forts, milecastles and turrets, as well as several original and partly restored sections of the Wall itself.

Level of Difficulty

This 84 mile National Trail takes you along the riverside route in Tyneside, through the farmland of Tynedale, and up onto the spectacular escarpment of the Whin Sill. This central section involves a lot of ascent and descent, sometimes on rugged paths. Crossing into Cumbria, a gradual descent to a pastoral landscape brings you to the Roman city of Carlisle and a final level section to the salt marsh of the Solway Estuary.
