Road
Car
All Roman forts and museums, and many sections of the Wall, are accessible by car; parking is available at all the major Roman sites. Parking and accessibility are indicated in the Frontier Experiences, which can be found in the Hadrian's Wall Today section of the website. For the best views, it is easiest to walk to see parts of the Wall, milecastles and turrets which are reachable by the National Trail or other footpaths.
Roman sites and rural areas can also be accessed by taxi. There are many companies in Newcastle, Carlisle and Hexham; the Where to Stay guide contains details of local taxi firms.
Motorbike
Dramatic routes, spectacular landscapes and plenty to stop off and see; the route from Haydon Bridge to Penrith takes visitors across the awe-inspiring roof of England.
