Helping us to look
after Hadrians Wall
World Heritage Site
Hadrians Wall is a very sensitive place, a fragile piece of our heritage.
Almost everywhere that you walk is archaeologically important,
so we all have a responsibility to make sure that the surviving remains
are preserved for future generations.
As well as the visible archaeology
(both masonry and earthworks)
that you can see there is much more
buried beneath the very paths that
run alongside the Wall. We want to
avoid damage and erosion to the
ancient monument and the best
way of doing this is by maintaining
the path beside the Wall as a healthy
grass surface.
You can help us to look after
Hadrians Wall for future
generations by following a few
very simple conservation tips.
So please:
1. When walking beside Hadrians Wall avoid
walking in single file, instead simply walk side-
by-side. This helps to spread the pressure
over a wider area it really does make a
difference.
2. If you see a worn line in the grass path,
please walk alongside it; the rule of thumb is to
walk on healthy grass.
3. When the Trail was being designed, the
basic rule of thumb was to avoid as many of
the lumps and bumps as possible because
they could be buried archaeology. So, please
avoid walking on the lumps, bumps and
grassy ridges.

The Walls own country code,
Every Footstep Counts
This code was devised by the
National Trail in partnership with
all of the projects and organisations
associated with the World Heritage
Site. It suggests tips on how visitors
can help us to look after the Wall for
them and future generations.
1. Start and finish your walk
along the Wall at different
places, or follow a circular route.
This way there will be half as much
wear on the path next to the Wall.
2. Use public transport,
including the Hadrian's Wall
Bus, wherever you can.
3. You can support the
people living and working in
the World Heritage Site by
staying nearby whenever you can
and using shops, restaurants and
pubs in the area.
4. Take any litter away with
you and never light fires.
5. Never climb up or walk on
top of Hadrians Wall.
6. During the wet winter
months the ground is
waterlogged and this is when the
risk of damage to the monument is
greatest. Instead you could walk
one of the alternative circular
walks close by.
7. Close all gates behind
you unless it is clear that
the farmer needs the gate to be
left open.
8. Stick to the path signed
from the road with
coloured arrows.
9. Help to take pressure off
the Wall itself by visiting a
Roman Fort as part of the journey.
They all have visitor facilities and
will tell you all about Roman life
and times.
10. Always keep your dog
under close control.

Hadrians Wall Path
National Trail
Hadrians Wall Path National Trail
is an unbroken 84-mile signposted
footpath stretching coast-to-coast
and crossing England from
Wallsend in the east to Bowness-
on-Solway in the west. It passes
through some of Englands most
beautiful and dynamic landscapes
the forces that shaped our islands
geography have left behind a
kaleidoscope of scenery from
rolling fields and rugged moorland
to the vibrant cities of Newcastle
upon Tyne and Carlisle.
You do not have to walk all of the
Trail in one go, although many
people do; it is just as popular as a
short-stay destination, perhaps
walking a section over a long
weekend, or for a day walk.
If you do decide to walk the Trail
please note that its popular
passport scheme operates from
1st May to 31st October only.

This is because we promote the
Trail as a spring, summer and
autumn destination only when the
risks of erosion to the ancient
monument are reduced. In the wet
winter months the risk of erosion
and damage increases significantly
and during this period we ask that
you respect our shared heritage and
walk instead some of the many
footpaths within the Walls corridor.

of the seasonal AD122 Hadrians Wall Bus, and allow time to take in the
landscapes and visit some of the Roman sites and attractions.
Advice
