Roam like a Roman


Follow in the footsteps of the Border Reivers and drovers to explore fortified towers and castles. March Roman-style across Hadrian’s Wall walking routes, exploring Roman sites dating back 2,000 years or simply stroll around riverside paths. Enjoy some of the most scenic spots as part of a short walk from one roman fort to the next, or why not take on a more challenging route including the Coast to Coast Ravenber Way.
