This leisure trip is suitable for mountain bikes and hybrids – covering up to 57 miles a day along the Hadrians Cycleway.

Starting at Newcastle, you’ll ride 48 miles from Bowness-on-Solway to Haltwhistle on your first full day, then trek back to Newcastle over 57 miles in a beautiful loop of exploration.

You’ll follow the fragmented remains of the wall, seeing medieval churches, castles and the Pele towers – all of which are testament to the centuries of feuding and skirmishing in this border country’s history.

You’ll stay at B&Bs and country inns, and the trip costs £375. Find out more here.
