A walk along the edge of Empire.
This talk follows my journey along the 84-mile Hadrian’s Wall Path, walking from Wallsend on the River Tyne to Bowness-on-Solway. Along the way, I explore the most impressive surviving stretches of the Wall, milecastles, and turrets, and reflect on the experience of travelling through some of Britain’s most dramatic landscapes. From bustling Tyneside through rolling Northumberland hills to the wide Solway estuary, the route reveals both the endurance of Roman engineering and the beauty of the frontier it once guarded.

I’m Paula, I have a BA (Hons) in. Arts & Humanities and I have a lifelong interest in history, archaeology, nature and walking in the countryside.
Over the years I’ve walked hundreds of miles, mostly in the north of England - in the Yorkshire Wolds, the North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Peak District. I’ve also completed several long distance trails. I have a popular online blog, following my adventures and have had walks and photographs published in national walking magazines.
I’m a semi-professional photographer and have had my images published in magazines and books, on websites, on TV and even in a Hollywood movie. It goes without saying, therefore, that my talks are all illustrated.
My talks have been well received by groups such as Women’s Institutes, Probus and the U3A and I love sharing my passion for history, nature and the landscape. I have my own equipment (projector, stand, screen etc.) and can usually be ready to go at very short notice!
