The award-winning Hadrian's Wall Country Bus AD122 runs from Newcastle Central Station to Carlisle with connecting services to Bowness-on-Solway (see below for Bus and Taxi bus services). It is an easy and sustainable way to get around: going to all the right places and takes bicycles. There is a more frequent service to the main Roman sites in the central section.
For a relaxing visit to Hadrian’s Wall Country use the AD122 seasonal service and the network of local bus services to take the stress out of driving. To discover more of the area there is a year-round bus network, downloads of the timetables are shown below.
For those preferring to leave later in the day from Newcastle upon Tyne there is the train and other buses including the Arriva 685 and Go North East 10 Service.
* New Taxi Bus Service between Bowness and Carlisle *
A new Taxi Bus service now operates on Sundays and Bank Holidays between Carlisle and Bowness-on-Solway (see timetable below). Convenient if you are starting or finishing the National Trail.
