Hadrian's Wall Trek

Step back in time and re-trace the ancient Roman paths of Hadrian’s Wall on this three day hiking event.

This challenge will begin at Lanercost Priory and we will walk for 25 miles along the only remaining sections of the wall. You will admire ancient monuments, beautiful scenery and be awed by the skills of the Roman engineers who built this famous landmark, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
