Guidebook and integral map booklet to walking the 84-mile Hadrian's Wall
Path National Trail along the Roman Wall from Bowness-on-Solway to
Wallsend, Newcastle. The trail typically takes a week to walk, and is
suitable for beginners as well as walkers with greater experience. The
route is described in both directions, and the guidebook also features
extensions to Maryport on Cumbria's far west coast and South Shields in
the east.
Clear step-by-step route descriptions are illustrated by 1:100,000 OS
map extracts. The guidebook comes with a convenient map booklet of
1:25,000 scale OS maps showing the full route. The route description
links together with the map booklet at each stage along the way, and the
compact format is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket
or the top of a rucksack. (Note: the map booklet can also be purchased
separately.)
A wealth of information on the history of the Wall is included, as well
as a wide range of practical information for walkers, from accommodation
and itinerary planning, to details on public transport and refreshments.
