Striding across the wild neck of northern England, Hadrian's Wall is one of the world's great historic landscapes, and the country around it makes a fascinating base for a very different Cumbrian holiday. Built by the Romans from around AD 122, the Wall ran coast to coast, and its western end reaches the sea on the Solway in the far north of Cumbria, with the most dramatic central stretches lying east into Northumberland. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it sits well to the north of the Lake District, a journey into Roman history rather than Lakeland scenery. There is a tremendous amount to see. Housesteads is the most complete Roman fort in Britain, Vindolanda continues to yield astonishing finds from its excavations, and the Wall itself snakes spectacularly along the crags of the Whin Sill. The 84-mile Hadrian's Wall Path lets you walk the whole frontier, while the historic border city of Carlisle anchors the Cumbrian end with its castle and cathedral. Hadrian's Wall Country suits history lovers, walkers tackling the National Trail, and families combining Roman wonders with open country, with the northern Lakes a drive south. Browse our holiday homes across Hadrian's Wall Country and walk in the footsteps of the Romans.
