Why We Hunted This
Most tourists pay £12–£16 per person at every single fort. If you visit just three sites (Housesteads, Chesters, and Corbridge), you’ve spent nearly £45. We hunted this because an English Heritage Membership covers every single one of them. It’s the only way to hike the wall without your wallet taking a hit at every mile marker.
Geographical Highlights
The Whin Sill escarpment, where the wall clings to dramatic basalt cliffs. You’ll explore the most complete Roman forts in Britain, walk the iconic “Sycamore Gap” section (still beautiful in 2026), and see the original defensive ditches. It’s a 73-mile masterpiece of Roman engineering and a must-hike for any outdoor enthusiast.
