Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian's Wall was built by the Roman Empire to protect their colony in England from the Pictish tribes in Scotland. It stretches for mile 73 across the north of England from the Irish Sea to the North Sea in the counties of Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear.

Built by Roman soldiers in the 2nd century AD, only stretches of the wall are still visible, but the wealth of archaeological research has resulted in an almost unparalleled cluster of museums and excavations. Hadrian's Wall is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  Hadrian's Wall Halal Travel Guide

Hadrian's Wall was one of Ancient Rome's fortified borders, which gave the late Roman Empire security against the barbarians at its gates. Constructed and later garrisoned by soldiers drawn from all over the Roman world and the wall preserves an immense amount of military and civilian day-to-day life.

Travel to Hadrian's Wall

By road (perhaps bus) from primary streets or transport hubs at Carlisle or Newcastle. Part of the wall is also on the Pennine Way long-distance footpath.

How to get around in Hadrian's Wall

GPS 54.7816|-2.4315|width=|align=}}

There is now a recognised National Trail and the mile 84 long Hadrian's Wall Path, that follows (with deviations that mean the trail is longer than the wall) the whole length of the wall from Wallsend to the Solway Firth (or vice versa). The path is relatively easy going for most of its route, with the notable exception of the middle section around Steel Rigg. Here the path rises and falls steeply as it follows the escarpment. This section is however regarded as the most beautiful.

The region is well served by road and a railway runs parallel to the wall from Newcastle to Carlisle. A single ticket is roughly £13 (as of April 2010). There is a bus that runs the length of the wall from Bowness in Soloway to Newcastle (both ways) 7 days a week, circa April to September. Bus number /ad122/ AD122. Ideal for linear walking allowing return to a vehicle or lodging.

What to see in Hadrian's Wall

There are several excavated Roman forts. Most of the Roman remains are in the open air: dress for the weather and wear sensible shoes.

• Housesteads | Haydon Bridge, NE47 6NN 55.013, -2.331 ☎ +44 1434 344363 Opening Hours: open weekends during the winter and every day in summer adults £6.20, children £3.70, concessions £5.60 Housesteads Roman Fort - Housesteads Fort2 812832 The most famous sight on the Wall, Housesteads is the most complete Roman fort in Britain, and one of the best-preserved in Europe.

• Vindolanda - 54.9902, -2.3671 £10 adults, £5.50 children, joint ticket with the Roman Army Museum Vindolanda - Vindolanda bathhouse - 2007-05-19 Vindolanda is complete a ruin, but has a somewhat better museum, and features a reconstructed section of Wall. It is particularly interesting to archaeology.
• Chesters - Cilurnum | Chollerford, NE46 4EU 55.026, -2.139 ☎ +44 1434 681379 adults £5.40, children £3.20, concessions £4.90 Cilurnum A former Roman cavalry fort, Chesters has a fairly extensive - if rather old-fashioned - museum including exhibits excavated at Housesteads and elsewhere.

It's a short walk away from the Wallsend Metro stations. In fact many of the signs at the metro station have been translated into Latin, including the aptly named Vomitorium.

There are numerous smaller forts, milecastles, temples and other buildings. While many are little more than lumps in the ground, many of the better-preserved are now under the care of English Heritage and are listed on the Hadrian's Wall section of their website].

• Mithraeum 55.03385, -2.2225 - Brocolitiamithraeum - One of the few partially preserved temples of the god Mithras in the UK.

The museums are rounded out by the Roman Army Museum.

Look out for military jets training in the skies above Kielder Forest. There is a (relatively) secret RAF base within the forest that serves as an electronic warfare training base.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Hadrian's Wall

• For a nice day: Breakfast at the Once Brewed YHA hostel, walk to Vindolanda and then loop north to Hadrian's Wall, walk along the wall for a few hours and then walk back to the Twice Brewed Inn for supper and real ale.
• Daytrip from Newcastle upon Tyne: Take bus AD122 from Central Station at 09:30 to Chester Roman Fort (£4.50). Visit the Roman fort and museum (Entrance fee adults £5.00/concession £4.50) and then hike on the Hadrian's Wall Trail to Housesteads. Visit the Housesteads Roman Fort and museum (Entrance fee adults £5.00/concession £4.50). Walk to the road (entrance to parking lot) and flag down the bus AD122, which passes here at 17:34 back to Newcastle (£5.50; and the only direct bus to Newcastle).
• Hike the whole of it, from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend or vice versa. Book your lodging couple of months in advance, for the trail is very popular, and if you just knock on the door of a random B&B on your way you'll probably find it fully booked.

Eat & drink

Most of the larger attractions on the forts serve refreshments of some description. There are also hotels and public houses in most of the villages dotted around the area.
