Every Footstep Counts

Remember, "Every Footstep Counts".

Whilst planning your holiday, please remember to observe “Every Footstep Counts”- the World Heritage Site’s own country code. As you will appreciate, Hadrian’s Wall is a fragile environment and the archaeology is easily damaged. You can help protect this great Wonder of the World by:

• Not walking on the Wall itself
• Take your litter home
• Follow signposted paths
• Walk side by side
• Keep gates closed
• Control your dog
• Use public transport
• Support local businesses
• Consider circular walks and Roman site visits instead of the Trail
• Avoid worn patches on the Trail
