Challenge yourself in 2026 take on a 20km hike along Hadrian’s Wall...
Whether you’re already a hiking pro or looking for a new challenge, we’d love for you to join Challenge Northumberland on Saturday 16th May 2026, to take the historical Hadrian’s wall hike.
Today, nearly 2,000 years after it was built, it is a Unesco World Heritage Site and the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England. A remarkable amount of it remains – in fortresses and settlements, in ‘mile castles’ and bath houses, barracks, ramparts and in long, uninterrupted stretches of the wall itself.
Hikers will take on the wonders, beauty and history of Hadrian’s Wall, but don’t be fooled – this isn’t a challenge for the light-hearted.
This 20km hike will push trekkers to their limit as they aim to conquer steep inclines,
including its highest point at 1,000ft, and complete the challenge in under 8 hours!
Starting at the beautiful Walltown Country Park, the route will celebrate our beautiful
Northumberland heritage by touring through stunning valleys and fells. Not to mention
notorious spots in North East history, such as Housesteads Roman fort, and of course, the recently felled Sycamore Gap. Crawfields Quarry, Steel Rigg, Crag Lough will also feature along this breathtaking experience, along with the remarkable uninterrupted stretches of the wall itself that remain.
Not only will you undergo some exhilarating gradients to really push yourself, but you’ll also gain a wealth of knowledge from the guides who are experts in the 2000-year history of Hadrian’s Wall.
The hike will be led by the fantastic Challenge Northumberland team and supported by some of their amazing volunteer guides. All finishers will receive a memoto from the day and also have use of the FREE Transport back to the start at Walltown Country Park.
