Description
A guidebook to walking the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail between Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria and Wallsend, Newcastle.

- Includes a separate map booklet containing OS 1:25,000 mapping and route line
- Handy route summary tables, alternative walking schedules and accommodation listings help you plan your itinerary
- Packed with historical detail, as well as maps marking locations of Roman milecastles and other archaeological sites on and near the wall
- Public transport by stage is listed for those wanting to break the trail into shorter sections
