“I have dreamed of walking Hadrian's wall for 45 years. Doing so was a dream come true. The walk from Chollerford to Steel Rigg was a real physical and mental challenge compounded by the fact that it was very windy and there was horizontal rain. At the end of that day I felt fortunate to have done it. I highly recommend the walk plus I recommend booking with Contours.”Mrs Wright, UK
“We had a wonderful holiday. Scenery was beautiful, lovely people, nice B&BS and guesthouses, and the weather was great.”Mr Gundersen, Norway
