Hadrian's Wall Path is the new 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 its 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
- walks to and from major archaeological sites off the main route
- route information on each section, with colour photographs and notes on nearby features
- background information on archaeology, local history, wildlife, geology, industry and land use
- details of public transport, villages on or near the route with facilities for walkers, useful organisations and accommodation
- the Countryside Access Charter on your rights and responsibilities when out in the countryside
