The Rat Inn – If you’re after a small pub full of charm, the Rat Inn in Anick is tucked down a quiet street and boasts a seasonal menu.Located 4 miles north of Bardon Mill and 6.5 miles northeast of Haltwhistle, from here you can enjoy panoramic views of Northumberland National Park with the wall winding its way into the distance. The museum has a fascinating collection of finds excavated from the fort, and you can take tours of the site. Housesteads Roman Fort – Housesteads is one of the most dramatic locations on the Wall’s route.Vindolanda is a large site, so I recommend spending several hours there and rounding off your day with a lazy lunch at the nearby Twice Brewed Inn in Bardon Mill with a view of the iconic Sycamore Gap. Vindolanda Fort and Museum – This active archaeological site is still rendering interesting finds – many of which are housed in the on-site museum.Wander around the officers’ quarters, explore the museum with its wide collection of Roman artefacts, and discover some of the best-preserved Roman baths in the country. Chesters Roman Fort Museum – This former fort turned museum showcases life during the Roman empire at a northern outpost.Walltown Crags – Located between Birdoswald Roman Fort and Housesteads ruins, this 400 yards (just over 365m) stretch of wall is a historical landmark and a great place to soak up countryside views.You can even walk to other nearby sites like Harrow’s Scar Mile Castle and the Roman Bridge Abutment. Explore the fort and gatehouse and dive into Roman history in the museum. Birdoswald Roman Fort – Boasting the longest intact continuous stretch of wall with views of the rolling hills, the Fort is a great place to start your sightseeing adventures.I recommend starting your trip from Brampton and exploring the following sites: There is so much to explore along Hadrian’s Wall, and the 73 miles offer up an incredible selection of history and culture. Plan your trip for the summer months between May and October for the best walking weather The trail is a bit longer than the Wall and the 84 miles takes 6-8 days to complete, walking from end to end. Here’s another Pro-tip: If you’re looking for a more active adventure, consider walking the Hadrian’s Wall Trail. Alternatively, hiring a car from the airport gives you the freedom to explore other nearby areas, including wider Cumbria and nearby Northumberland National Park.
