- THE definitive guide to walking the wall.
There are other books on walking Hadrian's Wall, but for me this is easily the best in just about every area. Whilst I'll always be open to new publications, in 2008 this is the only guide you will need to walk the wall safely, and that will give you you accurate and precise historical information on the way.

It ticks all the boxes. From a practical view it is compact and won't fall apart at the sight of the first shower - of which you may encounter several. You can use it to walk the wall in sections or in one hit. It describes the route very accurately, and allows enough space for a good depth of historical information. Hard to beat.

- Excellent maps and guide to the complete route
I have just got back from walking the wall. This book was excellent. The maps clearly showed the path, and the text described the route and turns to take. It also has plenty of information on the sites and items of interest on the path as well as plenty of information on Roman history, the forts and the parts of the wall you are passing (milecastles, watchtowers etc). I did not need any other maps, particularly as the route is also very well marked. It is also a nice compact size with a fairly rain resistant cover.

- A great walk and a great book to guide you through it
I would recommend taking with you this book, which is particularly good for its OS maps, and the Trailblazer book, which has detailed descriptions, and gives the name and phone number of every place to eat, drink and stay along the way. A perfect book would combine these features.

On the walk itself, the first day (through central Newcastle), and the last two days (through Carlisle and to the sea) - were not the best bits: no visible Wall at all, and only the occasional sign of its accompanying earthworks.

If you plan to do it, but don't want to do the whole lot, you'll probably want to do the best bit, and this, without any doubt, is the central section: lots of visible Wall and lots of scenic (and hilly!) countryside. ... Read More:

- An easy to follow and informative guide book
As a professional tourist guide I have found Anthony Burton's book an excellent route guide for the newly opened National Trail. The guide divides the National Trail along Hadrians Wall (a World Heritage site since 1987)into 6 sections, each a long days walk of 12 to 15 miles and has several sections explaining the history, geology, industry and other facets of the region.. It uses OS 1:25000 maps to cover the whole route and is well illustrated with colour photographs.
An excellent guide which is easy to follow.
