 Hadrian's
Wall Path (National Trail Guides)
Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail is a footpath of some 81
miles (130km) linking Wallsend, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with
Bowness-on-Solway on England's west coast. The Path will shadow,
for its greater part, the historical line of Hadrian's Wall;
it is the only National Trail to lie within a World Heritage
Site, and there are many opportunities to explore the fascinating
history of our four centuries of Roman rule. It is also a walk
of dramatic contrasts, starting amid bustling, redeveloped Newcastle,
where the Path passes Millenium Bridge and the new Baltic arts
complex and finishing on the lonely shores of Solway Firth,
with its unique wildlife. To follow the Roman wall from coast
to coast, all you need is this one book.

 Hadrian's
Wall (Penguin History S.)
The authors of this book delved into the history of the Wall
that ran from coast to coast, dividing Britain in two. Occasionally
the Romans would march north and consider the complete conquest
of the island; at other times the northern tribes would spill
over Hadrian's Wall to pillage the Roman province. Despite this,
for three hundred years, with very few lapses, the peace of
the frontier was regulated by the troops along the Wall. Only
when the Western Empire fell did the soldiers drift away and
the Wall decayed. In their review of the evidence, the authors
include details about the Roman army, its religion and daily
bureaucratic life on the Wall.

 Rome's
Northern Frontier AD, 70-235: Beyond Hadrian's Wall (Fortress
S.)
The Roman excursions north of the Tyne-Solway line, the route
of Hadrian's Wall, can be roughly divided into three main periods.
Firstly, Agricola advanced against the Caledonii for six campaigning
seasons culminating in the decisive battle of Mons Graupius
in AD 83. Secondly, the Antonine Wall was built 70 miles to
the north of Hadrian's Wall along the Forth-Clyde isthmus, though
it marked the northern frontier of the empire for little more
than 20 years. Finally, at the beginning of the 3rd century
AD L. Septimius Severus arrived to restore order along the northern
frontier, briefly reoccupying and repairing sections of the
Antonine Wall. This title describes the fortifications left
behind by each of these three attempts to subdue Rome's northernmost
frontier. Hadrian's Wall.
