Hadrian's Wall Path: A Walk Through History

By Paul Amess

Join Paul on an epic trek along Hadrian's Wall, one of the most famous and historically fascinating walks in the world-because nothing says adventure like following a 2,000-year-old pile of stones across England.

This isn't just a history lesson (though there's plenty of that). Discover which king thought carrying a rotting human arm was a good luck charm, relive one of the most dramatic spy-swaps in history, and, of course, find out where to see the longest, tallest, most impressive, and downright rudest bits of the wall.

But history aside, walking this ancient frontier is no simple stroll. Join Paul and the gang as they march through rain, mud, and blister-inducing terrain, surviving on questionable campsite meals and getting gleefully overcharged by the locals. With long summer days, unexpected encounters, and plenty of mishaps, this book is both a delightful dive into history and a hilariously honest account of what really happens when you decide to walk across England.

Paul was born and raised in Hull, Yorkshire-a place so magnificent it took him years of globe-trotting to realize he should've just stayed put. After visiting some of the world's most exotic locations, he finally had an epiphany: nowhere beats the weird and wonderful charm of England. Now, he spends as much time as possible trudging around the country, uncovering its bizarre and fascinating history, and encountering a delightful mix of interesting, eccentric, and occasionally downright questionable people.
This is Paul's fourth book, following up on the success of 54 Degrees North, Rambling On and Coast to Coast.
