Discover fascinating Roman history in Britain as you walk
along Hadrian's Wall
In 122 A.D. the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered a great wall to be
built separating 'Romans from Barbarians' across northern Britain at
its narrowest point between the Solway Firth and the North Sea. It was
extended and enhanced with impressive stone defences following natural
ridge lines and with a deep ditch 'The Vallum' dug alongside it. Later
much of the stonework was mortared allowing it to survive the centuries
to become one of the oldest structures in the country today. The 84
mile walking path through rugged moorland, rolling fields and dynmic
landscapes opened in May 2003 making it a relatively new trail.

A comprehensive walk through the border country of the
Cheviot Hills from Scotland to England
The St. Cuthbert's way links the places associated with the life of St.
Cuthbert and a host of Roman and medieval features which reflect the long
period of strife this border region has experienced. This beautiful and varied
walk culminates in the crossing to Lindisfarne Island along a causeway
which is only exposed at low tide. Cuthbert, who became a saint in the 7th
century, began his work at Melrose Abbey and was buried on Holy Island. The
coffin was later moved to St. Cuthbert's Cave to escape Viking raiders. From
the pleasant border town of Melrose the trail winds over the conical covered
Eildon Hills, with spectacular panoramic views. You continue onto the small
'
Green' village of Ancrum and then over moorlands to the northern end of
the Pennine Way. From here, skirt the northern slopes of the wild Cheviot
Hills, crossing the beautiful College Valley before crossing the border into
England.
