This guide has been made possible by research carried out by local residents as part of the community archaeology project, WallQuest: Hadrian’s Wall and its legacy on Tyneside, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Make Your Mark, the Esmé Fairbairn Foundation, the Sir James Knott Trust, the Banks Community fund, the Earthwatch Institute, and the R.W. Mann Trust. Volunteers of the Hadrian’s Wall Community Champions project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, have trialled the route and help turn the research into a practical guide.
