Understanding the history of Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall was built during the Roman period as a frontier across northern Britain and remains one of the country's most important Roman landmarks. Today, its surviving sections, forts and archaeological remains offer a glimpse into life on the northern edge of the Roman Empire.
Places such as Housesteads Roman Fort and Vindolanda offer fascinating connections to the people who lived and served along this frontier. As you explore the area, you can discover the stories behind the Wall, the Roman military presence and the communities that developed around it.
With a knowledgeable guide, the history becomes more than something you simply see. We can help put the remains, landscapes and landmarks into context, giving you a better understanding of why Hadrian's Wall remains such an important part of Britain's heritage.

Roman landmarks and the Northumberland countryside
A Hadrian's Wall experience is about more than ancient stonework. The Wall passes through some of Northumberland's most striking countryside, where open spaces, rugged landscapes and wide views create a memorable setting for your day.
Depending on your interests, you can walk along sections of the Wall and visit historic points of interest such as Housesteads Roman Fort, Vindolanda and Walltown. The surrounding landscape also gives you time to enjoy the quieter side of Northumberland, away from busy towns and city streets.
Walking along sections of Hadrian's Wall can give you a real sense of the scale of the landscape and the challenge faced by the Romans who built and occupied this frontier. Some areas are rugged, uneven, or steep, so you can plan your tour based on what you want to experience and what suits your group.

My friend and in we’re lucky enough to get an all-day tour to upper central Scotland with Graham. What a treat! One of the best travelling experiences I’ve had throughout my travels. Graham's knowledge and very fun personal additions and tips were great! AND he can sing! I highly recommend this tour.
