Step back in time and take on a picturesque charity challenge through one of the UK’s most historic landscapes.
Join the team at Global Adventure Challenges for the Hadrian’s Wall Trek, an epic weekend adventure following the footsteps of the Roman legions through the stunning scenery of Northumberland National Park.
Trekking approximately 25 miles along the most remarkable Roman monument in Britain, this challenge takes participants from Lanercost Priory to Brocolitia, passing dramatic countryside, ancient ruins, and breathtaking views along the way. Hadrian’s Wall is now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts walkers and history lovers from all over the world.
Built on the orders of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD122, Hadrian’s Wall once stretched coast-to-coast across Britain and remains one of the most important Roman monuments in Europe. Today, the route offers a unique mix of history, adventure, and spectacular scenery, making it one of the UK’s most memorable walking challenges.
