Where the Wall Begins: Walking Hadrian's Wall in Segedunum's 1,900th Year

20 August 2026

Start where the Romans did. Most people picture Hadrian's Wall as crags and open moorland. It actually begins on a street in Wallsend - and 2026 is the year to start there. There is a moment on the first morning of a Hadrian's Wall walking holiday that never gets old. You stand in the middle of a Tyneside suburb, looking at the ground plan of a Roman fort laid out at your feet, with the Tyne behind you and 84 miles of England in front. That is Segedunum. And this year it is marking around 1,900 years since it was built.

How Does a Self-Guided Walking Holiday Actually Work?

13 August 2026

A self-guided walking holiday gives you a whole long-distance trail to yourself - no group, no guide, no logistics - while someone else books the beds, moves your bags and points you the right way. Here is exactly how it works. If you love the idea of walking a great British trail but the thought of booking a dozen B&Bs, working out daily distances and lugging a heavy pack has put you off, a self-guided holiday is almost certainly what you are looking for. It is the most popular way our guests walk with us, and once people have done one, most never go back to planning it all themselves. Here is what to expect.

The Northumberland Coast Path — 62 miles of wide beaches, ruined castles and fishing villages between Cresswell and Berwick-upon-Tweed - is very much the second kind, and in July 2026 it turned 20.

Honesty Kiosks and Farm Stops on Hadrian's Wall Path

02 July 2026

When people dream about walking Hadrian's Wall Path, it's often the sweeping views, mighty Roman forts and iconic stretches of wall that come to mind. But ask someone who's already completed the trail what they remember most, and you'll often hear a different story. It might be the homemade flapjack bought from a farm honesty box. The mug of tea that appeared just when energy levels were beginning to fade. Or the friendly farmer who paused to chat and pointed them towards the next spectacular viewpoint. These little moments are part of what makes a walking holiday on Hadrian's Wall Path feel so special. They remind you that you're not simply following an ancient monument. You're walking through a living landscape, where local people still help shape the experience. And for 2026, there's another lovely stop to add to the list.

Behind the scenes at Vindolanda: time your Hadrian's Wall walk with the dig season

18 June 2026

Most walking holidays UK travellers remember for the views. A Hadrian's Wall walk gives you those in abundance, but it also gives you something rarer: the chance to walk straight into a living, breathing archaeological dig and watch history come out of the ground. If you plan your trip well, you can time your walk to coincide with the 2026 excavation season at Vindolanda, the remarkable Roman fort and settlement just south of the Wall. And as a Northumberland-based team who walk these routes ourselves, timing is exactly the kind of local detail we love helping with.

The History of Holy Island: The Story of Lindisfarne

12 May 2026

Holy Island, also known as Lindisfarne, is one of the most atmospheric and historically important places in Britain. Cut off from the mainland twice a day by the North Sea tides, this small island off the coast of Northumberland has been shaped by saints, Viking raids, medieval pilgrims and centuries of faith, conflict and isolation. From the arrival of St Aidan and the influence of St Cuthbert to the creation of the Lindisfarne Gospels and the haunting ruins of Lindisfarne Priory, the island’s story stretches back more than thirteen centuries. Today, whether arriving by causeway or walking the ancient Pilgrim’s Way across the sands, Holy Island still feels like a place suspended between land and sea, history and legend.
