Hadrians Wall - Day 6 - Heddon-on-the-Wall to Wallsend

The final day, and a journey into the busy city centre and industrial areas of Newcastle and along the River Tyne. This trail deviates from the original route of the wall in a number of places, but delivers a picturesque route along the Tyne into the City Centre, or you can travel along the wall which main leads you straight along Hexham Road.

Hadrians Wall - Day 5 - Chollerford to Heddon-on-the-Wall

A brief cross over with St Oswalds Way will see you heading Eastward away from Heaven Fields and following closely the line of the wall. The wall was only one part of the infrastructure of Hadrian’s Wall with a defensive ditch also being dug.
