Route Description for Hadrian’s Wall: Wallsend to Heddon on the Wall
Featuring fascinating ancient Roman historical sites and the winding banks of the River Tyne, the Hadrian’s Wall: Wallsend to Heddon on the Wall Trail is an excellent long-distance adventure to experience the beauty of Northumberland.
