1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Hadrian's Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching 73 miles (117 km) across northern England, from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway on the Solway Firth. Built by the Romans beginning in AD 122 under Emperor Hadrian, it marked the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire and remains one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world. The Northumberland section is the most dramatic, passing through rugged moorland and the Northumberland National Park, with iconic viewpoints at Sycamore Gap and Housesteads Roman Fort. Travellers come to hike the 84-mile Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail, explore Roman forts and museums, and soak up some of Britain's most atmospheric and remote countryside.

Self-Launched: Walking the Best of Hadrian's Wall

Follow in Roman footsteps along the UNESCO-listed Hadrian's Wall — Britain's largest ancient monument — on this self-launched 5-night walking adventure from Lanercost Priory to Corbridge. Walk west to east so the prevailing winds stay at your back, tackle iconic crags like Walltown, Winshield and Sewingshields, and explore world-class Roman sites including Birdoswald, Vindolanda, Housesteads and Chesters. Instead of paying Exodus's guided rate, book your own B&Bs and guesthouses along the National Trail, download a free OS or Hadrian's Wall Path app for navigation, and arrange your own luggage transfers via a local provider like Sherpa Van (~£12–14/bag/day). All the same scenery, history and hearty Northumberland breakfasts — at a fraction of the cost. Costs below are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, UK yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
