DISCOVER YOUR PRIVATE HADRIAN'S WALL EXPERIENCE & ADD IN THE STUNNING DURHAM DALES
A private Hadrian’s Wall experience taking you to some of the highlights along the Roman Frontier with a knowledgeable tour guide by your side.
Discover the stunning landscapes of Northumberland National Park as well as the breathtaking scenery of the Durham Dales Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Immerse yourself into life “on the wall” and the surrounding “land of the far horizons”…
Hadrian’s Wall marks the final frontier of the Roman Empire. It stretches 72 miles long from the Solway Coast to the River Tyne. The wall was built under the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian who was in charge of the Empire from AD117 to AD138.
During this tour you will be led by an experienced, knowledgeable guide and taken to various parts of the wall where you will get some great viewpoints, scenery and gain an insight into life in Roman Britain. In addition, visit Vindolanda Roman Fort – one of the highlights of your tour. The museum gives you a fascinating insight into life on the edge… The fort is one of several and has been extensively excavated.
Continue your tour through The North Pennines and Durham Dales for a fascinating insight into this landscape, its people and uses today.
During this day also visit Corbridge – one of the most beautiful villages on the banks of the river Tyne and formerly a Roman frontier town.
At Newcastle Tour Company, the safety & health of our guests are always of paramount importance to us. This private Hadrian’s Wall experience has been optimised for post Covid-19 tours & follows current health protocols.
YOUR PERSONAL ITINERARY
Begin your journey in Newcastle and discover the true starting point of Hadrian's Wall in AD122.
Travel west into Northumberland - make a short stop on the way at Heddon-on-the-Wall and then pop into the beautiful Roman village of Corbridge.
Enter the Northumberland National Park and the most amazing stretches along Hadrian's Wall - the scenery, views and history is stunning!
Continue to Vindolanda Roman Fort & enjoy a well-earned break & lunch. Discover the fort - one of our absolute favourite along this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site extensively excavated and still archaeologists flock here each year (with any luck we will get the chance to speak to excavators as they work). Whilst walking through the ruins, you’ll get great insight into the lives of the people who lived here during (and after) Roman times.
Continue your journey into the stunning (and unusual) landscapes of the Durham Dales. Why not stop in the quaint village of Blanchland for refreshments...
