The edge of the<br />
Roman Empire...<br />
….and the beginning of your<br />
thrilling Roman adventure.<br />
It was 2,000 turbulent years in the making but you can<br />
experience Britain’s greatest Roman monument (and a<br />
whole lot besides) in a single exciting break. And there’s so<br />
much more to Hadrian’s Wall Country than the Wall itself.<br />
This guide will help you plan your own (peaceful!) invasion.<br />
Changing political, social, economic and demographic<br />
forces in the Roman Empire from the 1st to 5th centuries<br />
AD led to the creation of this furthermost imperial frontier.<br />
Today you can immerse yourself in its dynamic story and the<br />
vital role it plays as part of the Frontiers of the Roman<br />
Empire World Heritage Site – the largest of its kind in the<br />
world and stretching across Europe to include the Antonine<br />
Wall in Scotland and The Limes in Germany.<br />
Hadrian’s Wall Country boasts spectacular coastline,<br />
stunning rolling countryside, vibrant cities and towns,<br />
charming villages and a wealth of Roman forts, museums<br />
and visitor attractions. Whether you’re looking to relax or<br />
want to bring your bicycles and walking boots, you’ll never<br />
be stuck for inspiration.<br />
By splitting this guide into three geographical sections we’ll<br />
show you clearly how to plan your trip and to follow in the<br />
footsteps of Emperor Hadrian himself. Read it in<br />
conjunction with our Hadrian’s Wall Country map and<br />
our packed website visithadrianswall.co.uk and you’ll get<br />
the whole picture - an overwall view!<br />

Exploring on<br />
foot and bike<br />
Hadrian’s Wall is an ancient<br />
monument. So it needs TLC and<br />
you can do your bit please, by…<br />
CODE<br />
• Not walking on the<br />
Wall itself<br />
• Take your litter home<br />
• Follow signposted paths<br />
• Walk side by side<br />
• Keep gates closed<br />
• Control your dog<br />
• Use public transport<br />
• Support local businesses<br />
• Consider circular walks<br />
and Roman site visits<br />
instead of the Trail<br />
• Avoid worn patches<br />
on the Trail<br />
Thank you. Every little bit helps<br />
Hadrian’s Wall Country is<br />
perfect for walkers and cyclists<br />
alike. No sandals and chariots<br />
required!<br />
Walk the Wall<br />
Experience the full scale and majesty of the Roman monument<br />
by walking Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail, voted the<br />
country’s favourite. 2013 sees the Trail celebrate its 10th<br />
anniversary too. The Trail is best walked during the summer, so<br />
the grass path has had a chance to grow. Hadrian’s Wall Path<br />
National Trail is unique. You are walking on sensitive<br />
archaeology, so please do your bit and follow the Code.<br />
Pedal the Wall<br />
If two wheels are more your thing, then Hadrian’s Wall<br />
Country is for you. Try the challenge of Hadrian’s Cycleway,<br />
following the World Heritage Site along the Wall and down<br />
the Cumbrian coast. Or perhaps you’d prefer quiet do-in-aday<br />
rides, along country lanes, cyclepaths and bridleways.<br />
Go to visithadrianswall.co.uk for suggestions of walks<br />
and cycle rides.<br />
And don’t forget there are plenty of shorter circular and linear<br />
routes, in both town and country, suitable for all abilities.<br />

Food and drink fit<br />
for an Emperor!<br />
Refresh, refuel, relax<br />
BUS<br />

Those Romans certainly loved<br />
their food and drink. And<br />
things haven’t changed a bit<br />
today in Hadrian’s Wall<br />
Country. Come and dig in.<br />
No need to march on an empty stomach in Hadrian’s Wall<br />
Country when there’s so many fabulous places to eat, and<br />
such plentiful local culinary delights to experience.<br />
There can be few parts of the country that boast so many<br />
thriving local food producers. Wherever you find yourself<br />
there’s always a tempting treat waiting in a café, pub, bakery,<br />
deli, market or farmshop - from marvelous microbreweries to<br />
artisan breads, from heritage meats to….well, even Roman<br />
ice creams!<br />
Unmissable eateries include Britain’s oldest dining room at<br />
Blackfriars in Newcastle, a former Dominican friary serving<br />
food since 1239, as well as the North Shields Fish Quay for<br />
some of the country’s best fish and chips. As the National<br />
Trail passes through Tyneside, there are several fine pubs,<br />
including The Central, a popular pit stop with walkers, as<br />
well as plenty of good old countryside pubs, like the Red Lion<br />
near Hexham. Bustling Carlisle has lots of great places to eat<br />
and drink, but make sure you check out the restaurant<br />
hidden inside Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - perfect for<br />
a mid-visit pick-me-up.<br />
In the Tyne Valley, just a short spin from the Wall, The<br />
Feathers (in Hedley on the Hill) and The Battlesteads (in<br />
Wark), are two recent Great British Pub Winners. If you love<br />
great pub food washed down with something tasty then<br />
both these ‘locals’ are essential visits.<br />
So whether you’re sipping a fabulous cuppa or gulping a<br />
delicious local ale; dressing up for some fine dining or just<br />
fancy a light bite on the go, Hadrian’s Wall Country will<br />
delight every appetite.<br />

Cycling, walking, site-seeing,<br />
fabulous accommodation -<br />
it’s all here in Hadrian’s Wall<br />

someone else to do all the<br />
legwork?<br />
Appoint your own foot soldiers<br />
For some, part of the fun of taking a break is the organising,<br />
both before and during the break. And with so much to see<br />
and do in Hadrian’s Wall Country there’s always plenty to<br />
plan. But some people just want someone else to do it all,<br />
leaving them free to enjoy their travels. Accommodation<br />
booking companies and tour operators offer excellent<br />
service, great value for money and reduce the need for you<br />
to stress over the detail.<br />
From bikes to baggage<br />
Biking, hiking or touring, there’s a company to help you get<br />
the best out of Hadrian’s Wall Country. Hadrian’s Wall Path<br />
National Trail and its network of shorter walks and circular<br />
trails, takes you in the sandal steps of the Romans, from<br />
Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway. It hugs the Wall for much<br />
of its route and showcases some of England’s most dramatic<br />
vistas. Hadrian’s Cycleway runs from Ravenglass to<br />
Tynemouth, meandering along quiet roads and tracks with<br />
no sense of time’s winged chariot at your shoulder. Don’t<br />
want to bring your own bike? Then simply hire one in<br />
Newcastle, right on the Cycleway.<br />
Your guide to the Guides<br />
If you prefer the guided option, then that’s no problem.<br />
Friendly Hadrian’s Wall Country Volunteers bring any visit to<br />
life throughout the year. And other coach tours and guided<br />
walking and touring companies are available, too. The key to<br />
all of this – leave enough time for exploring the attractions<br />
along the way (Roman and otherwise), after all they have<br />
been almost 2,000 years in the making.<br />

Quality Gradings<br />
how to understand them<br />
As you may imagine, there’s a wide range of accommodation<br />
available in Hadrian’s Wall Country. Location, facilities, type of<br />
property and budget will all influence your choices. Faced<br />
with so many options, it can be comforting to know that<br />
expert help is at hand in terms of assessing accommodation.<br />
Follow the sign<br />
Looking out for either the Enjoy England<br />
& Quality Rose symbol or the AA logo is<br />
key. It’s proof that the accommodation has been<br />
independently assessed for the official national quality<br />
assessment scheme by experienced professional inspectors.<br />
You may on occasions see the Quality Cumbria logo,<br />
an assessment initiative run locally but in partnership with<br />
VisitEngland.<br />
What’s assessed and how?<br />
There’s an official Quality Rose and AA assessment scheme to<br />
cover every type of accommodation from self-catering to farm<br />
stays and hostels. Every scheme uses a straightforward 1-5<br />
star rating to give you a reliable guide as to what to expect:<br />
★ Simple, practical, no frills.<br />
★★ Well presented and well run.<br />
★★★ Good level of quality and comfort.<br />
★★★★ Excellent standard throughout.<br />
★★★★★ Exceptional with a degree of luxury.<br />
Hotels<br />
To be assessed under the Hotel scheme, hotels have to be<br />
licensed, with all rooms ensuite (or with private bathroom)<br />
and offer dinner at least 5 nights a week. It goes without<br />
saying, but you will find enhanced services with higher rated<br />
properties.<br />
Guest accommodation<br />
Guest accommodation properties are likely to be smaller<br />
than hotels with perhaps more of a family feel and<br />
approach. The different categories are: Inns, Restaurants<br />
with Rooms, Bed and Breakfast, Farmhouses, Guest Houses<br />
and Guest Accommodation.<br />
Self catering<br />
For self catering accommodation, the layout and design of<br />
the accommodation and the range and quality of the<br />
kitchen equipment are assessed, as well as the quality and<br />
comfort of the bedrooms and bathrooms and, most<br />
importantly, the cleanliness.<br />
Hostels<br />
Star rated accommodation often in shared rooms with<br />
bunk beds. Family rooms may also be available. Hostels<br />
normally welcome individuals, families and groups.<br />
Bunkhouses<br />
Rural accommodation, which can be booked by groups or<br />
individuals. Services and facilities may be limited, but will<br />
include a self catering facility.<br />
Camping barns<br />
These provide very simple accommodation in a rural setting.<br />
Visitors should normally expect to bring their own sleeping<br />
bags and cooking equipment.<br />
Holiday, touring and camping parks<br />
Enjoy England awards star ratings reflecting the overall<br />
quality of the park from one to five stars- five stars being<br />
reserved for parks of exceptional quality. The AA awards<br />
pennants rather than stars.<br />
Welcome to Excellence symbol<br />
Businesses with this award aim to exceed visitor needs<br />
and expectations and provide an environment where<br />
courtesy, helpfulness and a warm welcome are<br />
standard.<br />
Walkers Welcome and Cyclists Welcome<br />
Accommodation that meets the particular needs of<br />
walkers and cyclists participate in these schemes.<br />
Families Welcome scheme<br />
This scheme gives families the confidence that they are<br />
booking accommodation that meets their particular<br />
needs. Simple criteria have been developed to indicate<br />
the extra facilities and service that can make a family<br />
holiday even more enjoyable.<br />
Welcome Pets<br />
Properties in this scheme have taken extra effort to<br />
ensure a pleasurable stay for both pet and owner.<br />

Awaiting Inspection<br />
At the time of going to press, accommodation displaying<br />
Awaiting Inspection has applied for participation in one<br />
of the above assessment schemes. Please check with the<br />
business directly to ascertain what grading they<br />
have achieved.<br />
Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS)<br />
GTBS recognises places to stay and visit that are taking<br />
action to support the local area and the wider environment.<br />
It is Europe’s largest and most successful ‘green’<br />
accreditation scheme for tourism.<br />
VisitEngland Gold & Silver Awards<br />
VisitEngland give further accolades to hotels and guest<br />
accommodation that not only achieve their overall rating<br />
but also provide exceptional quality throughout, especially<br />
in service and hospitality.<br />
AA Red Stars<br />
The AA gives red stars to select hotels in each star<br />
grading. These have been awarded ‘Inspectors’<br />
Choice’ status<br />
National Accessible Scheme<br />
Hadrian’s Wall Country offers many opportunities for<br />
visitors with disabilities to enjoy this unique destination.<br />

attractions cater for visitors with disabilities and will<br />

Tyneside to Hexham<br />
Quayside at sunset © NewcastleGateshead Initiative<br />
From cultural city life to<br />
countryside serenity the<br />
easterly frontier of Hadrian’s<br />
Wall Country deliver the best<br />
of both possible worlds - and<br />
delivers it in style.<br />
You can have your cake and eat it. Especially in<br />
immeasurably varied Hadrian’s Wall Country’s east.<br />
You can be city-based and soak up the immense cultural<br />
vitality, shopping and nightlife of NewcastleGateshead.<br />
You can explore stunning seaside vistas along an unspoiled<br />
coastline. Or you can roam free in rolling countryside and<br />
quaint villages. And, of course, there are iconic ‘must-sees’<br />
such as The Angel of the North, BALTIC, the Great North<br />
Museum and NewcastleGateshead Quayside and bridges.<br />
Near the lovely market town of Corbridge you can visit<br />
Vallum Farm and sample one of their delicious home made<br />
ice creams. Bustling Hexham is dominated by the medieval<br />
Abbey (built using stone from the Wall) and the Old Gaol,<br />
depicting the Border Reivers Story.<br />
There’s all this and the Wall itself, of course. Don’t miss<br />
the reconstructions at the supply fort of Arbeia at South<br />
Shields or the extensive excavations of Segedunum<br />
at Wallsend. And Hadrian’s Cycleway starts on the coast<br />
with the Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail also beginning<br />
in Wallsend.<br />

The Spectacular Frontier:<br />
Hexham to Brampton<br />
Hotbank Crags © Roger Clegg<br />
Discover an unparalleled<br />
treasure trove of spectacular<br />
landscape, unmissable visitor<br />
attractions and Imperial<br />
magnificence.<br />
The central region of Hadrian’s Wall Country is not to be<br />
missed. Not only delivering some of the most inspiring Roman<br />
remains, but offering a wealth of other essential things to do<br />
and see. From the sheer serenity of the Northumberland<br />
National Park, one of the quietest national parks in the<br />
country, to unbeatable family-fun attractions such as Walby<br />
Farm Park near Carlisle. Explore the many fabulous trails at<br />
Kielder Water and Forest Park. And there’s the UK’s first<br />
UNESCO Geopark – the North Pennines Area of<br />
<strong>Out</strong>standing Natural Beauty.<br />
On the Roman trail you’re spoilt for choice. The Calvary fort<br />
at Chesters has a well preserved Wall and Bath House and<br />
there are the remarkable ruins of the temple of Mithras at<br />
Carrawburgh. Housesteads Roman Fort’s magnificent ruins<br />
shouldn’t be missed especially with its new visitor centre set<br />
to open in 2013. At Roman Vindolanda there are amazing<br />
reconstructions and ongoing archaeology, plus tremendous<br />
treasures showcased at Carvoran’s Roman Army Museum.<br />
From Greenhead, there’s an impressive section of Wall<br />
snaking along Walltown Crags, yielding panoramic views.<br />
Birdoswald, with its inspiring visitor centre, original turf<br />
Wall, later stone Wall and well preserved defences, gives<br />
unmatched insight into the Roman world.<br />

The Cumbrian Coast:<br />
Brampton to Ravenglass<br />
Burgh by Sands © Roger Clegg<br />
City life, wildlife, sealife, Roman<br />
life - it’s all here in the West as<br />
Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage<br />
Site takes in the stunning<br />
Cumbrian coastline.<br />
Be sure to visit Lanercost Priory, a beautiful 13th century<br />
church with its brand new visitor centre and excellent tea<br />
room. Then, by contrast, head to thriving Carlisle with its<br />
great shopping, art, culture, medieval Cathedral and Castle.<br />
Here Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery’s multi million<br />
pound Roman Frontier Gallery tells the story of the 400 year<br />
period of Roman occupation like nowhere else. Walkers and<br />
cyclists can enjoy Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail and<br />
cycleway as it traverses the city.<br />
There’s the breathtaking Solway Firth, an Area of<br />
<strong>Out</strong>standing Natural Beauty renowned for its birdlife and<br />
nature based tourism. The beautiful harbour town of<br />
Maryport is the perfect base for exploring Senhouse<br />
Roman Museum and a wonderful aquarium. Georgian<br />
Whitehaven is the starting point for the C2C (coast to coast)<br />
cycleway and ideally placed for Hardknott Fort with its<br />
fabulous views. St Bees offers a lovely beach, rockpools and<br />
clifftop strolls. In Ravenglass there’s the country’s tallest<br />
Bath House remains and also 13th Century Muncaster with<br />
its Himalayan Gardens and World Owl Centre, as well as the<br />
Victorian Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway that will transport<br />
you to the foothills of England’s highest peak.<br />

Friends of<br />
Hadrian’s Wall<br />
Cawfields Crags © Roger Clegg<br />
The older you get, the more<br />
you need looking after. So you<br />
can imagine how much looking<br />
after Hadrian’s Wall takes.<br />
At nearly 2,000 years of age, this UNESCO World Heritage Site<br />
needs some TLC.<br />
The charity Hadrian’s Wall Trust is committed to the<br />
management of the World Heritage Site.<br />
We look after the Wall’s conservation and preservation,<br />
communicate what it means to be a World Heritage Site, for<br />
both locals and visitors, and encourage understanding of and<br />
appreciation for the Wall, its Roman heritage all along, and its<br />
context in a world of modern frontiers.<br />
All this takes some doing, and HWT do get excellent support<br />
from English Heritage, Natural England and many other<br />
partners. But there’s always more to do.<br />
This is where you can help.<br />
By becoming a Friend of Hadrian’s Wall, your donations will<br />
collectively go to ensuring enjoyment for all of Hadrian’s Wall<br />
for centuries to come. Repairs to the Wall, management of<br />
the Trail, checking for problems, improving accessibility,<br />
finding volunteers, the list goes on.<br />
With your help, we can do this and more.<br />
Alternatively you can give on the go, just by texting Wall22<br />
with your £ donation (eg Wall22 £10). Every little bit helps!<br />
Go to visithadrianswall.co.uk/friends to find out how<br />
you can do your bit.<br />
Thank you.<br />
