Hadrian's Wall Path

The Hadrian's Wall Path is a continuous 84-mile (135km) National Trail that stretches from coast to coast across northern England. It follows the remnants of the Roman defensive wall built by Emperor Hadrian in AD 122 CE. The hike begins in Wallsend (Newcastle upon Tyne) and ends at Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast. While the urban ends are flat and paved, the middle section traverses the wild, undulating crags of the Northumberland National Park. Walking alongside Roman milefortlets, turrets, and some of the most dramatic frontier landscapes in the Roman Empire, this is a trek that blends deep history with classic British countryside.

One of the most frequented day hikes from El Chaltén, the route to Laguna Torre leads to a glacial lake at the base of the Torre massif. The 18 km out-and-back trail follows the Fitz Roy River valley, moving through sub-antarctic forests of ñire and lenga. The terrain is primarily well-maintained gravel paths and packed dirt, with a short initial ascent followed by mostly level walking through the glacial valley. The destination offers direct views of Cerro Torre (3,128m) and the Adela range, with icebergs frequently calving from the Torre Glacier into the lake.
