Hadrian's Wall. Frontier of the Roman Empire

Every footstep counts, taking care of the Wall

During the winter months the World Heritage Site is an especially fragile environment. You can help protect one of the great wonders of the world by following the advice below.

  • Always keep to the signed path
  • Visit the organised paying sites, which are more robust and can accommodate visitors, but please avoid walking alongside the Wall when the ground is very wet.
  • Please walk beside the wall and not on it
  • Respect livestock and land
  • Keep dogs on a lead
  • Use public transport whenever you can.
