It runs for 84 mi (135 km), from Wallsend on the east coast of England to Bowness - on - Solway on the west coast . For most of its length it is close to the remains of Hadrian's Wall, the defensive wall built by the Romans on the northern border of their empire . This is now recognised as part of the "Frontiers of the Roman Empire" World Heritage Site . </P> <P> Though muddy in places, the walking is relatively easy, as the highest point on the path is only 345 m (1130 ft) high and for much of its length the path is more or less flat . Most of the Wall runs through remote countryside but there are sections that pass through the cities and suburbs of Newcastle and Carlisle . The path is well signposted . For most of the walk there are many signs of human activity, and many other walkers in summer . Though there are villages and farms near to the path, there are not many places to buy food and drink, especially in the middle sections . The section between Chollerford and Walton is the highest and wildest part of the path; it is also where the Wall is most visible, and includes several important Roman forts . </P>
