Welcome to the unspoilt beauty of Hadrian's Wall Country.

Nearly 2,000 years ago this wall defined the northern frontier of Rome's mighty
Empire. Today it is a World Heritage Site, with the surrounding countryside
forming a stunning background and offering mile upon mile of exhilarating walks
(www.hadrianswallcountry.org).

A tourist bus service links Hexham, Haltwhistle and Carlisle with the major Wall
sites during the summer. Winter connections are available from Haltwhistle to
certain sites.

Contact Hexham Tourist Information Centre for timetable and
further details. |
