Is Luggage Transfer Included? 🎒🚐

Yes – luggage transfer is available on all self-guided Hadrian’s Wall itineraries!

Most walkers prefer to carry just a small daypack, and we fully support that! You’ll have the option to include daily luggage transfers, so your bags are safely transported from one accommodation to the next — allowing you to enjoy the trail without the extra weight.

🧳 How It Works:

Each morning, simply leave your bag at the designated collection point (usually reception).
It will be transferred to your next stop and waiting for you when you arrive.
No need to carry heavy gear or worry about navigating with full rucksacks.

💼 What Can I Pack?

Your main bag should weigh no more than 15kg (some transfer companies are strict on this).

Bring a small daypack for essentials like water, snacks, layers, and your passport (yes, there are stamps to collect!).

🙋 Can I walk without luggage transfer?

Yes, if you’re up for the challenge! Some adventurers prefer to carry all their gear, and that’s totally fine too — just let us know when completing your questionnaire.
