Good Points

Without exception, every place we stayed was delightful and friendly, with comfortable rooms and delicious food. All the places we stayed, with one exception, were within a mile of the path. The hosts of the B and b's with one exception picked us up and took us to the lodging and returned us to the walk the next day.


Bad Points

One potential problem - for several days there was no bank or ATM machines, be prepared!


General Comments

We walked Hadrian's Wall Path in spring (April 2008). Contours arranged places to stay and luggage transfer. It was perfect for us because of the flexibility offered; we could take seven, eight or nine nights and start on any day we wanted. Contours sent an official guidebook and a map of the route along with things to take. We stayed in B&B's, farms and small inns. We made this a coast to coast walk by dropping off our luggage at the first hotel and taking a metro to Tynemouth walked back to Wallsend (the start of the trail) on a bicycle path. By taking extra days on the trail we were able to make side trips and visit interesting places.
