Welcome to Hadrian's Wall Country. Britain's greatest Roman monument, Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site runs for 150 miles from Arbeia at South Shields to Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast. There were once over 30 forts on the Roman frontier, including the original 16 on the line of the Wall, along with milecastles, turrets, a ditch to the north and the great Vallum earthwork to the south. Today you can visit a string of amazing forts and museums that stretch across the north of England, with the Wall itself visible at some major sites (such as Birdoswald) and at many other places in-between. Use our interactive map to help plan your visit: it includes Roman and non-Roman sites, places to stay, Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail and Hadrian's Cycleway.
