Hadrian’s Wall, the UNESCO world heritage site and the frontier of the Roman Hadrian’s Wall. Discover the varied lives of the troops stationed on the wall. Starting at Steel Rig we will walk the 2 1/2 miles to the Roman fort of Housesteads. This walk will enable you to see the wall, discover its milecastles and see the wild geography of the frontier. Housesteads is the most complete of Roman forts in Britain and gives you a fantastic view of Roman life on Hadrian’s wall. After visiting the fort we stop for lunch twice brewed where you will be able to enjoy fantastic local food. We will then proceed to Vindolanda. Vindolanda was a Roman supply base and has been extensively excavated providing us with in-depth information on the people who lived on the wall. This tour is great for those who love history, wish to discover more about the Romans and enjoy country walks. Please contact us for small groups and solo travelers' options.

Alex makes the Hadrian's wall hike fun and informative. He's really knowledgeable and suits the hiking pace to match the participants. He was extremely patient answering all of the questions I had beforehand. You will be in good hands!

Guides like the one we had for our Hadrian's Wall Day tour are the reason why the money spent on a guided experience is well worth the investment. Yes, we could have walked the wall, seen Vindolanda, stopped at the fort and read the posted signs but Hadrian's Wall came alive with the knowledge and experience that Alex has. When we had questions he had the answers - no waiting for Siri to tell us! It was all we hoped it would be. Start to finish it was a 5 star experience.

This all-day tour with Alex was without a doubt one of the highlights of our visit to the UK and an experience we will never forget. Alex is a veritable fountain of knowledge about Roman and British history and was a thoughtful and considerate guide. The walk through pastures along Hadrian's Wall was both incredibly beautiful and a fantastic way to obtain a greater understanding of the history of the wall and Roman history in Britain. The landscape we hiked through was simply breathtaking. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Roman or British history, archaeology, and/or who enjoys hiking and physical activity. We had children aged 4, 8, and 10 and a senior aged 78 and the walk was about 7 kilometers and has terrain that goes up and down hills in several parts. The walk probably would take about 2-2.5 hours for an active adult or teen, but understandably took longer for our group. This was fine as we could savor the experience and walk at our own pace. Alex anticipated issues that might arise relating to physical safety and was always on the lookout for us, and he was so patient with the slower pace given our group needs. Despite this, he managed to get it all in the tour, with a slightly shorter visit to one of the Roman forts. Alex's driver, Bert, was just the best. He took care of our other senior who couldn't do the hike along the wall, escorted her to the Roman Fort for an easier visit, and zipped us all to the port in time to make our ship's departure from Newcastle. One suggestion is to wear good shoes for walking, but with treads that are not so grooved so as to retain the cow and sheep droppings that are pretty much everywhere and unavoidable during the walk! We encountered many Brits with their dogs walking the trail and that also made the experience special as we felt we were experiencing part of the local traditions and activities rather than merely being on a touristy day trip.
