Official Website of Hadrian's Wall Country

The service for the 2010 season operates from Good Friday 2nd April until the end of October 2010. Other local and regional bus services run all year, such as the 185 from Carlisle to Housesteads via Haltwhistle. For more details to plan your journey go to www.traveline.info

The award-winning Hadrian's Wall Country Bus AD122 runs from Newcastle Central Station to Carlisle with connecting services to Bowness-on-Solway. It is an easy and sustainable way to get around: going to all the right places and takes bicycles. There is a more frequent service to the main Roman sites in the central section with an on-board guide travelling with passengers twice a day.

Some low-floor buses have the capacity to carry a limited number of wheelchairs or cycles (priority will be given to wheelchair users). Cycle bookings should be made in advance through the Hadrian's Wall Information Line ( 44 (0)1434 322002) no later than 3pm prior to the day of travel.

 For a relaxing visit to Hadrian’s Wall Country  use the AD122 seasonal service  and the network of local bus services to take the stress out of driving.  To discover  more of the area  there is a year-round bus network,  downloads of the timetables are  shown below.
