From GBP 75Hadrian's Wall Highlights: Scenic Guided Walk with Local Guide
Join us for an unforgettable guided walk along one of the most spectacular stretches of Hadrian's Wall. Starting at The Sill National Landscape Discovery Centre, we'll catch the AD122 bus to Housesteads, with fascinating commentary along the way to make the most of our time on the Wall. Pass the site of Housesteads Roman Fort and its bustling civilian settlement, visit the Sycamore Gap site, explore Milecastles 37 and 39, and enjoy the rare opportunity to walk on the only section of Hadrian's Wall where visitors are permitted to walk on top of the Wall itself. With a maximum of six guests, our relaxed tours include authentic Roman artefacts, local storytelling, spectacular views, photos, videos, a personalised highlight reel and a keepsake to remember your adventure. Walking poles are available. If you're looking for a gentler option, we also offer a 2-mile guided walk with entry to Housesteads Roman Fort.
From GBP 20Seabird & Seal Farne Islands Cruise. 1.5 hours long. Departing from Seahouses.
We are a genuine wholly-owned small family-run business that has been established for a very long time. Our boat, the Golden Gate, was purpose-built in Seahouses for the Farne Islands and in particular, Trinity House duties to the Lighthouses. George, the skipper and lighthouse attendant, has sailed around these islands for a very long time. You will receive unsurpassable commentary and quirky knowledge from him. Seasonal seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, terns etc can only be guaranteed to be seen may-July. Since Covid-19 broke, we don't aim to pack our boat fully to increase customer experience. We aim for ultimate customer satisfaction and strive to meet all customer's expectations before and after the trip.
