As Tom says, “Watch what the trail tells you.” If you hike the Hadrian’s Wall Path There are many Internet resources to help plan a hike along Hadrian’s Wall. The first decision to make is whether you want to walk from west to east, or east to west, as we did, starting at Segundum Roman Fort in Newcastle. For information on hiking, accommodation and places to see along the Hadrian’s Wall Path, see www.visithadrianswall. co.uk. This site has information on accommodation, the trail and the handy Hadrian’s Wall Country Bus, a seasonal service that runs along the route of the Wall. It also has information on baggage courier services that collect baggage from B&Bs and hotels and deliver it to your next night’s lodging. That way, you only need to walk with those essential provisions for a day hike.
