Hadrian's Wall Path: Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway

Hadrian’s Wall Path in Trailblazer’s British Walking Guides series; highly practical, informative and portable guides designed with the adventurous walker in mind, and produced by one of the leading outdoor guide-book publishers. Each title in the series explores a range of popular walking routes and long-distance footpaths in England, Scotland and Wales. Designed with practicality in mind, each guide describes a long-distance walking route in clearly defined stages, allowing walkers to easily identify which parts of the route they want to attempt.

Strong on both practical content and cultural and historical background, Trailblazer Guides include extensive commentary on sites along the way, including areas of historical interest and outstanding beauty, in addition to cultural and social background, as walkers pass through the landscape. Additionally, there are detailed descriptions of places to stay and eat and drink on each walk, as well as boxed insets exploring a local tradition or custom. Detailed, large-scale walking maps are included in each title – a unique feature of Trailblazer guides – which include important information on walking times, directions, tricky junctions, places to stay and eat and general points of interest.

The guide is arranged in 4 sections – Planning Your Walk, the Environment and Nature, Minimum Impact Walking and Outdoor Safety and Route Guides and Maps. There is detailed advice and guidance on the route itself, practical information for the walker, budgeting, when to go, itineraries, what to take and getting to and from the route. Additionally, informative sections on the environment, flora and fauna and walking safety seek to improve walkers’ experiences of the routes and get the most from their trip. A Minimum Impact Walking and Outdoor Safety section also informs readers of the economic and environmental impact of walking. An appendix gives a list of GPS waypoints along each of the walks.
