Tandem TrailsA little further, together
Walk Hadrian's Wall virtually, together.
From Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway, turn the walking you already do into a shared journey along the Roman frontier.
One virtual trail. Both of your distances.
Tandem Trails' in-app Hadrian's Wall route is 135 km. You and your partner walk wherever you live, and your Apple Health walking distances add up along the same virtual trail. You do not need to visit Northumberland or record your GPS location.
This page describes the virtual route inside Tandem Trails. It is not a navigation guide for hiking the real Hadrian's Wall Path.
Places along your in-app journey
Start at Segedunum in Wallsend, then discover these landmarks as your shared distance grows. Distances below are positions on our 135 km app route.
| Place | Distance from the start |
|---|---|
| Segedunum, Wallsend | 0 km |
| Chesters | 49.9 km |
| Housesteads | 63.8 km |

| Carlisle | 112.3 km |
| Bowness-on-Solway | 135 km |
How long will your virtual walk take?
If you each contribute 3 km a day, your combined 6 km would cover 135 km in about 23 days. At a combined 10 km a day, it would take about 14 days. These are examples, not targets. Your finish depends on the walking distance recorded in Apple Health.
You can walk at different times. A lunchtime loop and an evening stroll both help move the same journey forward.
Collect a little of the trail
Discover trail postcards and digital keepsakes as you go. You can also paint a stone and leave a message for your partner to find when they catch up in the day's step-off. When you finish, your passport keeps a stamp from the journey.
Both walkers need an iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Connect Apple Health, choose Hadrian's Wall and invite your walking partner. Tandem Trails is free to download.
