It's not by accident that mentions in the national press (including the Guardian, the Independent, the Observer and the Sunday Times) have all enthused about Gary's informative, as well as entertaining approach and now you have the opportunity to find out why...

Hadrian’s Wall Part-Guided Walks
Welcome >> Walk >> Part-Guided
As the Trail is relatively easy to follow, the natural inclination is to walk it self-guided - you don't really need a Guide to show you the way and nor do you need anyone to tell you how good the landscape is. However if you are looking for a bit more than what is evident to the naked eye, or what a map or guidebook have to offer, then we have an option that may be of interest.
We realise that much of the attraction in coming here, is the opportunity to 'get away from it all', enjoying the fresh air and gazing over wide open spaces free from the crowds. But that doesn't mean that you should miss out on the chance to gain a more in-depth knowledge of the landscape you are passing through. To that end, you can have a one or two-day 'Guided' element as part of your 'Self-Guided' walking itinerary - in other words, a 'Part-Guided Walk'.
In the company of your own personal expert local Guide, Gary Reed, you will experience something as unique as the landscape itself. Gary's walks are tailored specifically to the interests of each individual group and although he has been giving talks on Hadrian's Wall for over twenty-five years and his knowledge of the subject is fairly considerable, his enthusiasm is as great as ever - as well as having experience of 'leading groups' in the outdoors that he describes as "probably beyond the average".
