Viggen Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 A coast-to-coast route along Hadrian's Wall has been so popular since it opened that steps are being taken to stop it being damaged. The 84-mile trail opened earlier this year which meant for the first time in 1,600 years visitors could walk the length of the Roman wall. This summer an average of 800 people a month completed the route from Wallsend, in North Tyneside, to Bowness on Solway, in Cumbria. It means the World Heritage Site is in danger of being eroded and steps are being taken to prevent any further damage over the winter. The Countryside Agency, which manages the route, is now urging people to think about when they visit the path to prevent it being damaged. full article at the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
