Route AD122
The Hadrian's Wall Country Bus AD122 runs from Newcastle Central Station to Carlisle with connecting services to Bowness-on-Solway. It operates between April and the end of October. The service provides a convenient service for tourists and hikers (it also takes bicycles) to travel between the main Roman sites in the central section of the Wall.

Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall or 'Vallum Aelium' is the remains of a large Roman fortification. The wall extended west from Segedunum at Wallsend on the River Tyne to the shore of the Solway Firth, ending a short but unknown distance west of the village of Bowness-on-Solway. Construction probably started some time in AD 122 and was largely completed within six years.
The remains were made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
