Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail nearing opening
Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail will take place in May this year.
For the first time visitors will be able to walk the entire length of Hadrian's Wall along an unbroken path for 84 miles. The path is part of a £6m investment by the Countryside Agency. The project has been made possible by two Heritage Lottery Fund grants totalling £3.14m.
Amanda Earnshaw, who heads the Countryside Agency's Wider Welcome team in the north-east says: This is integrated rural development in action - a co-ordinated approach that will improve transport links and provide a boost to the market towns of Hexham and Haltwhistle.'
The Agency says that by 2006 around 20,000 people a year are expected to walk the entire path and with day visitors they are expected to spend £7m per annum, supporting 86 new jobs. Details: www.hadrians-wall.org
