Hadrians Wall Path, 84 miles from end to end, follows the course of northern Europes largest surviving Roman monument, a 2nd-century fortification built in the border country between England and Scotland on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian in AD122.
Hadrians Wall Path is the first National Trail to follow the course of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is proving an immensely popular walk and in the first 18 months of its opening in 2003 it attracted almost 400,000 walkers.
