England- Cycling Hadrian’s Wall (2025)

England- Cycling Hadrian’s Wall  8 Days/ 7 Nights Prepare for great coastal and country scenery as you cross England by bike. This route follows close to the line of the Roman frontier during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and traces the Roman involvement in the region from the remains of the baths at Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast to Tynemouth on the North Sea. On the way, the route passes along the Solway Firth where the ride crosses the end of Hadrian's Wall at Bowness on Solway, before turning easterly into the Eden Valley, where the route gets a lot hillier, until the River Tyne. From Carlisle you will be able to visit Roman forts and museums, quaint villages and attractive market towns, all set in a linear World Heritage Site. The cycling also takes in historic towns such as Carlisle, Hexham and Haltwhistle. During the medieval period some of these towns benefited from dressed stone pulled from the wall. The Hadrian’s Cycleway, 274 km, is an easier but longer alternative to the traditional C2C (Cyclist's Coast to Coast, which we also offer). It crosses England following this generally well signed and waymarked series of minor roads and former railway lines. There are sections on gravel, but most of the route is on tarmac. The scenery is dramatic and beautiful.
