About the Experience
If you’ve ever wondered what life was really like in Roman Britain, this full day tour of Hadrian’s Wall is a brilliant way to find out. You’ll be guided by Venutius, chief of the Brigante Tribe, who lived through the Roman invasion and has more than a few tales to share about battles, survival and daily life from a Celtic point of view. As you walk across the breathtaking moorlands of Northumberland National Park, you’ll hear stories of conquerors, soldiers and the people who called this land home nearly two thousand years ago. The tour runs for around seven hours, so sturdy shoes are a must, though you can also choose a shorter morning hike combined with visits to two fascinating local museums and archaeological sites. Whether you’re a devoted history enthusiast or just fancy stepping back in time for a day, this is an experience that will stay with you long after you’ve left the Wall behind.
