Tutu-wearing tour guide of wild walks, inclusive tours and Roman ruins along Hadrian’s Wall. Based in Northumberland. Fueled by trails long and short, fresh air, fun facts, history banter, pre-trail coffee and post-trail beer. Also loves cake.

Hadrian’s Wall: Tip
Get a passport! 7 stamp locations along the Wall. Easter - October. Miss one? All stamps at Walltown and the Sill. Purchase your passport online or at either end. Money supports conservation of Hadrian’s Wall Path. Not walking the full length? Get yourself stamped instead!

Hadrian’s Wall Kit: Tilley Hat
Heading to Hadrian’s Wall? You’re going to need a hat! The best hat protects you from sun, rain and strong westerly winds.
On top of the crags, a hat without a chin strap is always in danger of flying away never to be seen again.

Peel Gap Tower – built with dressed whin stone instead of the usual sandstone. Also… not part of the Roman plans. #RogueLegionnaireMove #PeelGapRebel #HadriansWall #HiddenTurret

Chesterholme Milestone. Set in the ground by Roman soldiers 2,000 years ago to mark the miles along the Stanegate road. Still standing. #RomanGPS #HistoryInTheWild #NoTimeMachineNeeded
