The challenge to walk Hadrian's Wall from coast to coast is one of the goals of many people. Breathtaking scenery, fresh air and a sense of freedom are what you get when you walk the 84 miles from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend. You pass forts, mile-castles and turrets along with numerous other historical sites on route. Thousands of people walk this route. Reading this book and following the advice and information given will ensure that you can be one of the many who will experience the unforgettable sights on and nearby the Wall.

Brian Smails concentrates on the practicalities of the challenge in this guide which includes information on preparation, equipment and the walking route. The essentials like distances, accommodation and stopping places etc. are all covered to give you a comprehensive guide to planning the walk and a companion on the walk. Mapping is not included, so carrying separate maps is advisable; we would recommend the Harvey map.
Some people complete this challenge in four days; others prefer a more leisurely alternative taking six or more days to complete. The guide gives a daily description for a six day walk.
