Client Testimonials
Used Hadrian’s haul for a complicated itinerary for our walk.
They were excellent. We only planned on doing the middle section and when we emailed with a couple different ideas, they were really helpful in suggestions for how to organise our itinerary to best suit our plans. The bags were picked up and dropped off with great care. A big thank you as well as the guys were flexible to our change in plans as we had to change our accommodation last thing due to camping equipment issues. This allowed us to have a much better night’s sleep so thank you!
Really great team, really great communication all for a bargain price imo with a real lightening of the load physically and planning wise!
Would highly recommend using these guys.
Many thanks!
A huge thank you for organising the drop off of our bag at such short notice.
It made a very positive difference to our trip and the whole thing was seamless.
We explored more of the area and saw far more than we had planned because of this so thank you.
We leave today with great memories of the countryside, the hills and views and the people.
Thank you again.

After walking from Wallsend to Robin Hood Inn carrying bags we decided to use a baggage company for the remaining 3 days. The landlady put me in touch with Mark. Great value for money. Really straightforward. No mishaps at all!

To anyone considering using Hadrian’s Haul… DO IT!
Mark and his crew were amazing as our luggage was always waiting for us as we got to our next location.
Excellent service, and Mark went above and beyond to become my personal hero!!
One of our B&B bookings forgot we were coming and Mark showed up to deliver our bags. OH-OH!
Mark called me immediately to let me know of the snag, then went online and found us another spot for the night.
He was not going to abandon us and leave us stranded. He then arranged for our bags to be delivered to our Hotel and had us picked up on the way to be sure we got there to confirm the new arrangement.
AWESOME. Who else looks after anyone like that.
Please book with Hadrian’s Haul and enjoy your walk knowing your luggage will be well looked after.

Hi Mark, I hope you’re well.
Sorry it’s taken me a little while to get round to this but I just wanted to thank you for the service you provided for our Hadrian’s Wall walk.
Everything worked like clockwork, and to be confident that our bag was going to be waiting for us when we arrived everywhere was a massive help.
We had a slight hiccup with our booking at The Robin Hood, but they were great in accommodating us anyway. My biggest concern was whether that might have had an effect on our bag delivery, but of course it was still there waiting for us anyway, just as instructed!
I slightly underestimated the length of the walk between Twice Brewed and Garthside Farm, so I was in the doghouse when we arrived. But the bag was already in our pod so we were able to hit the hot tub straight away and all troubles were forgotten!
We were slightly worried on the weight – we weighed everything before we left but of course a few things were swapped in and out along the way, but there was no issue.
We only caught sight of one of your drivers once all week at Twice Brewed where you seemed to be doing a roaring trade!
So thanks for making our walk possible – we had a superb time and wouldn’t hesitate to use you again in the future!
We’re already planning our next adventure now that we know that there are great companies like yours that can do the heavy lifting.
Thanks again,
Paul
Dear Mark,
My brother Doug and I want to thank you for your “above and beyond” service to us on our recent hike along Hadrian’s Way. As you might recall, we were unable to contact or get into our hotel room in Corbridge, and we met you at the Golden Lion after Adrian the manager kindly contacted you. After working your network of contacts, you managed to track down the hotel manager and get us in that night. You literally saved us, and we cannot express in words how thankful we both are. My brother and I will only wish that we could return the favour.
All the best,
Steve and Doug (Brothers from Canada)
I highly highly recommend Hadrian’s Haul!! They are amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. They worked with me to pay for my service on the first day to avoid wiring the money from the US. They helped me figure out how to get a bus to Carlisle while the trains were on strike (not even their job, but helped me anyway!). They added a day last minute when my plans changed. It was such a relief to have my bags at my accommodations for the night. After a long day of walking, it felt like I was being pampered to have all my stuff magically waiting for me! Oh also, the staff is SUPER friendly and SUPER responsive if you have questions. I couldn’t recommend them more!!! Book them, you will be so happy you did!!
The whole experience of using Hadrian’s Haul was faultless from start to finish. During the booking process, emails were replied to promptly and I was even able to speak to Mark (Managing Director) to ask some specific questions. The bags were collected and transferred to the next accommodation on time and always left in a secure location.
If you are looking to have some help with transferring bags whilst making the whole Hadrian’s Wall walk far more enjoyable, then I fully recommend contacting Hadrian’s Haul. As well as an excellent service, in my opinion the value for money is exceptional.
Mark is a delight. He is really helpful, great communicator, runs a great service, polite and reliable. I have no hesitation in recommending his luggage transfer business for Hadrian’s Walk walk and surrounds.
Mark was really helpful. Before we started we noticed hotels booked in different names, he offered a solution.
Then i left my charger in a hotel and two days later they successfully managed to reconnect me.
Mark was always available at end of phone, easy to talk too. His team were polite too.
Our bags were picked up and delivered safely at each point.
The whole process was easy to arrange and great communication we strongly recommend Hadrian’s Haul.
Thank you Mark 😄
Dear Mark,
Thank you SO MUCH for moving our bags so efficiently last week. The service was brilliant. Anyone we spoke to about your service just said you are a lifesaver. Think you should up your charges next year. Very good value.
Many, many thanks for all your travel tips. We were so lucky that we had four days of sunshine, not a drop of rain.
You are 100% right, Corbridge is just an amazing place. Grants, the Pele, Black Bull and a comfy bed at the Angel. Northerners are so much more friendly than people down South.
Many, many thanks again.
Best wishes, Peter Edmondson
Mark
Excellent service. Great bag labels to avoid confusion. Pick up easy , drop off early . No complaints and we’ll use you again if we’re up this way. Keep up the good work
Thanks
Steve
Mark
Many thanks for your wonderful luggage service during our walk along the wall.
Shaun and Lynda Callaghan
We used Hadrian’s Haul in summer 2024 for west to east walk. Mark was superb coming back quickly with the quote. Based on what he said we refined our accommodation. The bags were picked up on time any always there when we arrived. We had some last minute complications with a member who could not travel due to severe family illness and Mark sorted it all out for me over the phone. I highly recommend.
The service provided by Hadrian’s Haul was absolutely first class. Having had a last minute thought to try and get our rucksacks transferred due to both tiredness and forthcoming weather conditions. Hadrian’s Haul could not have been more accommodating in helping us. They provide an absolutely wonderful service to assist walkers visiting this Historical and stunning landscape. Would definitely use again when visiting this area. Many thanks for helping us out.
Just completed Hadrians Wall Path and wanted to thank you for the fantastic baggage transfer service you provided! Every transfer was seamless, organised and gave us peace of mind.
Simple little things like the luggage tags you provided made our luggage stand out from other providers and look more professional.
Overall brilliant so thank you very much!
Hi Mark
Just to say many thanks for the transfers. Everything went great ..just the last stretch to do today.
I will strongly recommend you to others , in fact , we already have been!
Kind regards
Terry
Dear Mark,
Thank you for the excellent service!
Sincerely,
Alain
During a recent hiking trip to Hadrian’s Wall, my family & I arranged for Hadrian’s Haul to transfer our bags to each town where we were booked to stay. All I had to do was send them our itinerary & the number of bags needing transfer. It couldn’t have been easier. After a day of hiking, when we arrived at our destination, our bags were waiting for us. Their services helped make our trip easier & less stressful.
I would highly recommend Hadrian’s Haul as they were efficient, timely & a pleasure to work with.
Hello again Mark,
I wanted to Thank You! for a job well done.
Everything was great. The wife and I had a good time on the trail and it was a whole lot easier and enjoyable with you and your team doing the heavy lifting.
Cheers from the USA,
Scott Brennan
Many thanks for the bag transfers last week.
We had a wonderful week walking the coast to coast and literally had sunshine all the way.
Best Regards,

Hi
Please accept our thanks for your great service. Always very reassuring to see our cases waiting for us after a long walk.

Hi Mark,
Just wanted to thank you for your excellent service in transporting our bags along the Hadrian’s Wall route. It was so helpful to us.
Thanks again
Elaine
I started the Hadrian’s Wall walk and carried all my camp stuff in a rucksack. I underestimated how crippling this was lol. After 2 days I’d had enough. Anyways I called Mark and asked if could transfer my rucksack the following day. This was at 6pm so very little notice. Mark was fantastic, with excellent combination and sorted everything. The last day I needed my bag taking but couldn’t work out where I should send my bag as I was not staying anywhere. Again, Mark, found a solution!! He suggested using Stasher website. He would deliver my bag to anywhere in Newcastle so I could pick it up within a 12 hour period. Brilliant.
Mark and his business made everything so easy so I could continue on my adventure without this lump on my back. Absolutely brilliant. Mark is awesome and offers a first class service. 1000 percent would always use him if I was in the same situation.
Thank you Mark for everything!!!
Debbie
Hi Mark
I just wanted to say thank you for providing such a brilliant service in transporting my bag last week.
I was on Hadrian’s Wall to research a new walking guide book for my company, Sparky Walking Guides, and we’ll certainly be recommending your company in the book.
All the best
Jon Cox
Mark and his team at Hadrian’s Haul were amazing during the six days that my wife, daughter and I walked Hadrian’s Wall. Our cases were collected on the first day at our lodgings in Carlisle, tagged by them, and were delivered at each of our overnight stopovers. It was a wonderful to know and be assured that our luggage would be waiting for us after a long day’s walk. I cannot recommend the team at Hadrian’s Wall enough.
Dear Mark
Our journey along the Wall concluded today.
I have to say the transfers worked exceptionally well so our thanks to you and your team. It was one less thing for us to worry about and it was always a pleasure to collect our bags at the end of a long day.
I do wonder if your prices need increasing. I don’t know what competition you have, but there doesn’t seem to be much from what I could see. More importantly, the value of your service to your customers is very significant indeed. Without it, eg, my companion would not have considered the route. Finally you will know better than me the costs of running your service and how equipment, fuel and labour costs have risen over the past period.
My best
John
An utterly brilliant service from Mark and his team. From enquiring about getting one bag hauled, too changing mid walk to carry a second bag and also changing of accommodation due to the weather. Every step of the way Mark’s professionalism really shone through. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hadrian’s Haul to any person who is thinking about walking the wall. Many thanks Mark
Hello Mark,
Just wanted to say thank you very much for transporting my bag across the country.
It was always great to see my suitcase waiting for me when I wearily arrived at my accommodation each evening.
Thanks for the good service.
Kind Regards,
Katrina
Faultless bag transfers between accommodation stops during Hadrian’s Wall walk 18th-22nd July. Don’t hesitate to give Mark a call and take a load off your back – literally!
I’ve just completed a little trip to Hadrian’s Wall – mainly visiting sites of interest. Our bags were moved each day by Hadrian’s Haul. Very efficient and reliable – but also helpful! I managed to lose my keys – they fell out of my bag in the HH van. A friendly chat with the owner of HH led to them being quickly and efficiently returned the next day … thank you Mark!
Hi Mark,
Just wanted to say a big thanks for the bag haul service you provided for Friday to Tuesday.
It massively helped us for the walk and everything was on time and very well organised.
Would definitely recommend you guys to anyone else doing the walk.
Many thanks,
Ryan
Hi Mark,
I just wanted to send an email to let you know how happy I was with the service I received from Hadrian’s Haul (great name by the way!).
You offer excellent value for money, the booking process couldn’t have been easier and the service provided was seamless.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others and in fact, would actively encourage them to use Hadrian’s Haul as you have made walking the Wall so much more accessible and pleasurable than it might have been!
Wishing you continued success.
Kind regards
Claire De Alwis
Hi Mark, we had a great trip, your bag transfer service worked perfectly, so good to arrive after a long hike to find the bags already waiting.
Thankyou.
Tony
Hi Mark,
Our trip comes to an end but many thanks for an excellent service! It was great to have the luggage transferred in this way and I’ll happily recommend the service to anyone also doing the Hadrian’s walk.
Kind regards,
Alex
Hi Mark
Just wanted to thank you very much for the excellent service you provided with our bag. Very professional and efficient and an essential service to make walking the wall much more enjoyable! Thank you to you and your team. Will be sure to recommend.
Have a great season.

Will
Thank you so much for all you did. My bags were always ready to go when I arrived at my destination. I appreciate you guys so much. I will recommend you to all the other trail runners that I know.
— Noah
P.S. all the inns you recommended were very good as well. I don’t know where I would’ve stayed if it weren’t for your suggestions.
Hi
Hadrians Haul was the saviour of our trip. We planned to carry it all along the 84 miles of the Wall but when we got there we realised this was a big ask. Luckily they were able to fit us in at the last minute and took our bags to all our overnight accommodation. It meant we could enjoy the walk much more and had the energy to go round more of the forts and sights on the route. Really first class, friendly service. 100% would recommend.

Just to let you know:
I am entirely satisfied with your service! You have proved to be flexible, supportive and absolutely reliable. Friendly drivers and safe handling of bags. I would not hesitate to recommend your company to other walkers!

Mark,
We just returned from our time in England. I wanted to thank you for the service and want to give a testimonial:
Spending six glorious days on the trail would not have been possible without the support team at Hadrian’s Haul. Our packs were picked up and delivered perfectly without incident. The price is very reasonable and the customer support from Mark Robinson was top notch. I highly recommend this company! Thank you for helping us make a memory of a lifetime.
Steve and Deb Thomas – June 2024
Hello Mark,
I wanted to thank you for the bag transfer during our walk on Hadrian’s Wall. Everything worked very smoothly, even with the extra medication bag that required greater care.
I am especially grateful for your advice in setting up the trip. Starting in Corbridge was definitely the right way to do it, and we really enjoyed seeing the picturesque town and the nearly ruins.
Overall, we had a great time and your help was greatly appreciated.
Best,
Irfan Ali
Hi Mark
Just want to say thank you for all your help and perfect delivery service. We will definitely use you again
Take care

Hi Mark
Great service by your team, the baggages were picked up and dropped off, like clock work.
Also thank you very much for suggesting the places to stay at Hadrian’s wall, they were good.
Senthil
We had the most marvellous service from Hadrian’s Haul. They made our walk run so smoothly with our bags preceding us at each of our 8 destinations. They also coordinated the recovery of my phone charger when I realised that I had left it in the previous night’s accommodation. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thank you.
Thanks Mark for your fantastic service, very impressed with the efficiency and we would highly recommend your company.
Regards Richard and Pat
Absolutely first class service that made walking the wall so much easier. Bags always arrived safe and sound and before I did!
Can’t recommend Hadrian’s Haul enough. The service was superb and the whole process was seamless, leaving us to focus on our blisters! If you are needing bags transferred, these are the people to use.
Dear Mark,
Thanks very much for the lovely wall plaque decorated by your daughter! It is a wonderful memento of a fabulous trip. Thanks as well to you and your team for making sure our bags followed us along the way. It all went like clockwork.
It was a pleasure to chat with you in Newton, and we wish you the best.
Regards,
Jim and Sonya
Hi Mark , thanks again for a superb baggage transfer
I’ll definitely recommend you to my friend
Cheers
Mal
Hi Mark,
I finished the walk yesterday. And I’d like to thank you and your team for the excellent care for my luggage while doing that.
If you want another testimony for your site, you can use this one:
Hadrian’s Haul has provided an absolutely terrific service by transporting my luggage along the trail, so that I didn’t have to worry about it. It made the whole walk so much easier. Communication with Mark has been great.
What is more, when I had to break off the walk a year ago due to family circumstances, Hadrian’s Haul held the amount I had paid in credit. When I made a second try this year, Mark immediately applied that credit to the total cost, without me even having to ask for it.
Kind regards,
Wim van Gruisen
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your excellent service during our Hadrian’s Wall walk this last week!
Thanks

Our bags were transferred perfectly.
Thank you for your excellent service.

Dear Mark
Just a quick email to say thank you so much for the outstanding service you provided when we walked Hadrian’s Wall. The sight of our bags waiting for us every night was amazing and they arrived without a mark or scratch on them. Not once did we worry about not getting our bags and we could walk each day knowing they were being taken care of. I seriously don’t think we could have completed our adventure without your help so thank you!
Kind regards
Karen Ley
Mark
Awesome service – many thanks
Mike, Jayne and Steve
Hi Mark
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you very much for transporting our luggage between our hotels.
We’re currently on the train home… and on every leg of our adventure the luggage transfers were flawlessly executed.
I’d also like to say thank you for your guidance too when I was putting together our itinerary.
The Wormald House at Wylam was outstanding. It was decorated to a high level, very hospitable hosts who collected us from our finishing point in Heddon, lovely breakfast and very well located for a choice of places to get an evening meal. This was our most enjoyable stay.
I thought I’d pass this feedback to you… in case it proves helpful when advising future clients.
But most of all to say how exceptional we thought your service was.
With best regards
Debbie
Hi Mark
I just wanted to say thank you for the transfer of our bag between 3rd and 8th of May.
Everything went really smoothly. As this was the first long distance path we have completed it was a great service. Thank you.
Regards
Jackie Paice & Debs Meynell
Hi Mark
Just wanted to compliment you on the great job you did moving our bags while we hiked Hadrian’s Wall. You sure saved us after my goof!
Thanks for that – it saved our trip.
Mary
This is a terrific service and it will help you enjoy your walk along the wall path even more! Mark was very responsive from first quote to last communication.
All in all very satisfied with the service.
Karen K
Hello Mark
Thank you for a great reliable service moving my bag. It was lovely seeing my bag when I checked into each b & b or inn along the Hadrian’s Wall path. We even saw a van on our last day into Newcastle! I will highly recommend your service.
Thanks,
Deborah Hansen
Hi Mark,
I just wanted to write and thank you and the team for the service last week. Everything worked perfectly, the bag was there each night when we arrived. We met one of your drivers in Chollerford and thanked him personally, but I’m sure there is a team behind the scenes who make sure everything goes to plan and it is hugely appreciated. We had a great week walking the wall and it wouldn’t have been possible carrying the bags as well.
Regards
Neil and Karina Penny
Good evening, Mark,
Thank you for such a good service. We enjoyed our walk, and it was such much easier without our bags on our backs. You have been very helpful at all stages of the planning, booking and executing stages, and coped with the difficulties we created for you! Thank you. I will recommend you when I can.
Dr Mick Leach
Today we arrived in Newcastle after 8 days of walking. You carried out luggage and we just wanted to say thank you for that. It made us have a wonderful holiday
Willeke vd Hoek & Tom Bergers (holiday booked via Mickledore)
Hi Mark,
Just a quick email to say thank you for the brilliant service. It was all seamless. I’ve already recommended you to a friend who’s looking at doing the walk in the autumn.
Thanks
Laura
Hi Mark ,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for transporting our bags so efficiently this week. We can’t believe how easy it was to organise it with you and it made our walk viable for us .
Thank you so much
Anna and Shaun
The sight of our bag when we arrived at our stay for the night was fantastic, all provided by Mark and his team. We got exactly what we were promised, no pomp or fuss, just perfect service. I recommend this company to any person who needs their service, no need to check anywhere else, these guys are tops.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for moving our bags over Easter. The children made a game of spotting your vans overtaking us.
91 miles completed in 6 days. The children wanted to do it all again when we’d finished.
Great service, on time every day. It makes all the difference to the walk knowing your bags are well looked after – and that you don’t have to carry them!
All the best for the coming season and I’ll 100% recommend you to any of our friends who want to do the walk.
Kind regards,
Victoria
Hadrian’s Haul moved my backpack between the 28th March and 2nd April whilst I concentrated on tackling Hadrian’s Wall. There is absolutely no way I could have made it carrying my backpack, especially up and down the crags in the middle (most scenic) section. Completely reliable, bags were waiting for me every day when I arrived exhausted. It also acted as that motivation to keep going too rather than calling it a day when I’d had enough. There is no way I could have completed in 7 days otherwise. Very competitive pricing too, I cannot understand why anyone would want the hassle of carrying their own bag. Very amenable to late changes to plans as things undoubtedly do change as you progress on your walk. Simple booking, I booked the day before.
Highly recommended 👌
Mark and his team were great in transferring my baggage from one hotel to another and all was seamless. Mark also provided honest and insightful information to assist me in planning my Hadrian’s Wall walk beforehand.
Definitely recommend.
This company are quite simply faultless, transferring my luggage seamlessly, quickly over seven locations along the wall. Highly recommended.
Great service and reasonable cost. All went to plan and made our trip easier. Thanks to Mark and the team.
They did the luggage transfer for us as we walked Hadrian’s Wall path. Absolutely no issues, our bags were always at our next place in good condition when we arrived. Gave us peace of mind and helped us enjoy our walk.
WOW! What an incredible service. You leave your bags at your hotel, do your walking to your next nights stop and your bags are already there. We used Hadrian’s Haul from Carlisle to Newcastle and they were faultless. My back loved this service every step of the way. They were also incredibly responsive to any questions.
Hello
Thank you so much for your service. Please can you send me a link to leave a review as you made our trip so much more enjoyable by having the bags there for us every time we arrived at our destination.
Excellent service from Hadrian’s Haul moving our 7 bags each day whilst our group walked the path. Great communication from Mark at all times. Thanks again to your team and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others.
We have just returned from completing our Hadrian’s Wall trip and used Hadrian’s Haul services for all stages of our trip from Carlisle to Newcastle. Our bags were collected and dropped efficiently and early every day, and the useful bag tags they provided helped us feel confident that our bags would arrive at the location we expected, When one of the tags broke, Hadrian’s Haul provided a new tag the following day without any prompting. Thank you for such great service.
Hi Mark,
Bag’s received. You saved our lives as it was much better today without the weight, Mark. Just want to say a big thanks!. Andy.
Efficient and reliable transfer of bags between ten locations. Reasonable price and easy booking.
Hadrian’s Haul has been an excellent partner in our walk, thanks to all the team of Hadrian’s Haul and especially to Mark for his support. Really serious and efficient.
Perfection! At the very last minute – an error on our part – we failed to connect properly and make the reservations in advance – and they bent over to accommodate us! Originally we chose the company on Google that was the “sponsored” listing. Much to our great dismay, they refused to respond, but rather passed our information on to Hadrian’s Haul. We only discovered that when we called Hadrian’s and they were aware of our intinerary, having received it from the other firm. Our strong opinion to choose Handrian’s Haul first and always cannot be overstated. We had not one, not two – but THREE different walking adventures in three different countires – and these guys nailed it! Our bags were where they were supposed to be – when they were supposed to be there – and an outcome like that makes all the difference when you are sleeping in a different hotel or B&B every night, for three weeks running! A great business with a leader at the top who believes in what he’s doing, the difference it makes and how to get it done! Thank you for a stress-free adventure! – Marilyn Trumper-Samra, George Samra, Oscoda, MI USA
I used Hadrian’s Haul in August 2023 to transfer my bag over 5 stages of a walk. The service worked flawlessly, and it’s excellent value-for-money.
Hi Mark,
Back home now, just to say thank you, all very smooth !
Kind regards,
James
Dear Mark,
Just a quick note from Miriam Bohm and me to thank you for the excellent baggage service. It’s so much nicer to walk along the Hadrian’s Wall without having to carry everything. 🙂
Great service.
All the best,
Miriam & Kristin from Germany
Good morning Mark,
Just a quick one to say thanks for your patience and for helping to make our walk memorable.
All the best
Cheers
Mark
Mark
What a great experience- thank you.
As an army officer of 30 years who has been dropped and picked up by RAF rotary wing on many occasions I’m impressed by the navigation and punctuality.
Putting aside the jest you offer a great service thank you.
Adam
A fantastic service. Great communication from Mark at all times. Bags always there before us. No hassle or stress. The service made our week. Why would you go else where?
Great service, and good value, which I would highly recommend to anyone planning to walk Hadrian’s Wall Path.
All worked smoothly with no problems at all – Mark was very helpful with advice on where to stay when we booked too. 100% recommend.
Thank you Hadrian’s Haul for your outstanding service. Not only did you offer a reliable and timely service, you went the extra mile to help us. After our airline lost our luggage and finally delivered it to the wrong hotel, two days walk away, you managed to organise your transport to pick it up despite being fully booked. You picked up the phone at 8pm when you should have been relaxing, you listened to our problem and found a solution. When we arrived at our accommodation the following day, there it was, just as you had promised. Thank you.
Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your excellent baggage transport service. We would like to repeat this experience next year on the Saint Cuthbert’s Way.
See you next year and kind regards.
Jürgen Johann
Essential service when hiking Hadrians Wall. Simple. Reliable. On time. Brilliant. Their service never failed and eased our burden of hiking the Wall. Can’t express how essential this service is. Thank you!
Excellent service from start to finish. We did a slightly unusual route but the team accommodated our request. Bag had arrived at our accommodation before we did. No stress 🙂
Hadrian’s Haul helped to make our 7 day walk a great experience, excellent service👍😎
Excellent service. We simply didn’t have to worry. Our bags were always at our end point whenever we arrived, enabling us to enjoy our walking experience. I would recommend using them.
Mark and team
We have just reached our final destination at the Howard Arms in Brampton and, once again, our bags have been safely delivered and are waiting for us. We wanted to lose no time in thanking you – and your drivers – for the excellent service on each of the five days of our trip. This has added to the enjoyment of the holiday – THANK YOU.
Thanks again
David & Linda Fletcher
Hi Mark,
It’s been a few weeks since I completed the walk and I just wanted thank you again for helping me out , I loved every minute of it, but there is no way I could of done it without your help, thanks mate, hope business is going well for you, Will be doing it again in the future, so watch out for a email from me.
Take care, thanks again,
Ash 👍
A massive THANK YOU to all the team there who have moved our bags on for us this week 😀
Many thanks
Michele & Brian Green
We just returned from our Hadrian’s wall path walk. Thank you for your excellent service. Bags arrived each day as promised. Cannot imagine doing the walk without your help!
Jan Abrams
Hi Mark,
Just completed Hadrian’s Wall Walk and your team did an excellent job in picking up our bag, and dropping at next destination.
Didn’t even know they were around, which surely is a sign of excellent service.
Many thanks and well done.
Terry
We recently completed the Hadrian’s wall path. Thank you for your excellent service. Our bags were delivered every day as promised. There were no issues. I can not imagine doing the walk without your help.
Wanted to add another review to say that I used Hadrian’s Haul / Hadrian’s Bags (they seem to go by both names) for my Hadrian’s Wall walk and it all worked like clockwork with my bag always magically being at the new place arrived! It all felt very organised – they add a label to your bag with its itinerary which I found reassuring and they also managed to deliver and collect from the airbnb that I stayed at. Having done another National Trail carrying all my stuff, I really appreciated how much more pleasant and enjoyable it was not doing so!
Hadrian’s Haul was a godsend. The process worked perfectly. Our bags left and arrived at our designated spots as if by magic. It took a lot of pressure off knowing our bags were in good hands and would be in the right place at the right time.
Did a fair bit of research to arrange a bike ride following Hadrian’s Wall with the requisite stops for those of us who prefer to meander 🙂 and was really delighted with the service from Hadrian’s Haul. Bags were collected and delivered promptly and would recommend to cyclists and or walkers. Thanks once more for your service.

I’d never used a baggage transfer company before so it felt like dipping your toe in the water. And leaving your bag on the first day felt like waving goodbye and thinking that’s the last time I’ll see that!! So was thankfully reassured that our bag was waiting patiently at each days stop over.
The whole process was seamless and efficient. Even when we had a slight hitch with one days pick up, Mark knew before me and we made the necessary alterations without any fuss. Thought the cost was very reasonable as well.
I can’t see why anyone would carry all their kit as opposed to using such a fantastic service!!
Our bags were flawlessly transported coast-to-coast nine times over a span of 11 days. Highly recommended!
A flawless professional service. We enjoyed a fabulous three days running Hadrian’s Wall enjoying the beautiful landscape and history. It was just such a delight to find our suitcases pristinely waiting for us at each overnight stop. It meant we could travel light by day, get a restful night and have a change of kit and supplies to hand for the next day. Hadrian’s Haul were a delight to deal with, highly recommend.
Very good service! Our bag was transported, always on schedule. We booked very last minute and Mark helped us immediately. Made our walk a lot more enjoyable.
I recently used Hadrian’s Haul Ltd to transport me and my dad’s luggage while we walked the Hadrian’s Wall path, and I was thoroughly impressed with the service. The booking process was incredibly easy and the communication was clear and simple.
The drivers were friendly and reliable, making it stress-free for us to drop off and pick up the bags. Thanks to Hadrian’s Haul, my dad was able to fully enjoy his walk without the burden of carrying his luggage.
In addition, Hadrian’s Haul has good relationships with campsites and pubs along the route, making it easy for us to coordinate drop off and pick up points.
Overall, I highly recommend Hadrian’s Haul Ltd for anyone looking to walk the Hadrian’s Wall path. The convenience and reliability of their service made it possible for my dad to fully enjoy the experience.
Great service – very accommodating and helpful, and our bags were transferred seamlessly
The service provided was superb, both the pre arrangements and during the break with my bag always arriving in good time. I’ve carried my bag previously, opting for this service made the experience so much more enjoyable. Definitely recommend. Thank you.
Excellent service – something of a last minute and left field decision to walk Hadrian’s Wall in mid-March ’23 a little before the ‘season’ starts.
Mark was excellent; accommodating my itinerary and the changes that came about because of life’s challenges. A brilliant and efficient service that makes the experience much much easier to enjoy.
Would wholeheartedly recommend Hadrian’s Haul and will definitely be using them again. Thanks for everything.
Mark and the team were excellent. Extremely responsive and helpful in setting up the baggage transfer. They made it incredibly easy and even suggested best practices/places for pickups/dropoffs.
We would absolutely use again! A+ recommended.
They are great—we had complete peace of mind our entire 7-day walk along the Wall. Even when we arrived at the tiny, kind of obscure Air BnB near the end of our hike: there were our bags waiting for us. Thank you! Highly recommend!
These folks couldn’t have made booking their services easier and that was always there, even when I arrived early. Totally recommend!
Mark and his team were great! Communication was easy and response times were fast and any concerns were dealt with right away. Our luggage made it to every stop and it was nice not to worry about it. If you ever want to hike the wall without your luggage I recommend their service hands down!
Thankyou very much for your excellent service.

Arthur Balsdon
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your perfect service,
Thanks to you we had a great holiday, no worries about luggage!
Good luck,
Angela
Hi Mark,
We wanted to thank you again for transporting our bags along Hadrian’s Wall. Everything went really smoothly during our hike. In fact, on one of the afternoons your van was pulling up with our bags as we were hiking to check into the Inn for the evening. Absolutely perfect timing; and your service is a huge value add for folks that don’t want to carry heavy bags along the way!
Thank you,
Suzanne and Anthony
I would like to thank you for your excellent service last week for our holiday. The bags were picked and dropped off as arranged and were always there waiting for us.
One of the accommodation providers actually commented on how well you operated with them in transferring bags.
It made our holiday better knowing that the bags were sorted each day.
I was reluctant to book at first as I thought it would be another issue for me to deal with such as missed pick ups etc whilst on holiday, however I was proved wrong and I am glad I booked you.
Thanks again. I would recommend to my family and friends and I would use you again personally.
Such a good service. 5 of us (2 adults 3 children and 2 dogs) walked Hadrian’s Wall planning to carry everything and thinking we had both bought and packed light. Day 1 revealed that we had not packed light enough. A middle of the night email was responded to early the next morning and a burden was lifted. We shed a couple of bags whilst 3 of us still carried some items. The service was impeccable. Bags always arrived at the destination by the time promised. Any questions were answered promptly and knowledgeably. For the final leg into Newcastle they suggested we use the stasher service which left our bags sitting at a hotel a short walk from Newcastle train station where we were able to pick them up before heading back to Carlisle. We probably could have managed to continue to carry everything but it would have restricted what we would have been able to see along the way and would also have made the days longer. I would thoroughly recommend making use of the service even if only for some of your items. There was a feeling of trepidation and excitement the first day when we opened the container to see if our bags had arrived but after that you just knew it was going to happen. You did need to ensure the bags were packed and ready to go by 9 so no lie ins but we were there to walk the wall and with the distances involved it was far better to be up and away than hanging around in the morning.
I called Mark, in the middle of our seven day walk along the wall, and with intermittent signal, eventually arranged collection of our bags the next day (this was at about 6.00 pm). Despite the late notice, our bags were collected and delivered along the route, without a hitch. Brilliant service!
Excellent service. Really reasonable rates and simple to organise. Bags collected and dropped off without any issue and they were extremely helpful when things needed to be rearranged as I had got my dates mixed up.
Would highly recommend.
Dear Mark,
I just wanted to say thank you for the great service you provided. It made our walk so much easier not having to carry all that luggage!! We met a couple of the guys who were very friendly and extremely punctual. Communication has been excellent throughout and the guys at the airbnb said you were great too!
We had a wonderful walk from coast to coast despite some bits being less lovely than others it was all part of it and made it interesting.
I will definitely be recommending your company,
Thanks again!
Diana
Hi Mark
Many thanks for your service. It worked very well!

Jeff and Conny
Hi Mark,
We finished our Hadrian’s Wall walk yesterday. We could not have done it without your baggage transfer service.
I just wanted to say what an excellent service you provide. It was faultless.
Despite us panicking at the George Hotel when the van left and our bag was still there, only to find out it was the West bound van!!
A big well done and thankyou, to you and the drivers for the 1st class service. We will certainly recommend you to anyone I know who may do the walk in the future.
Cheers
Steve and Joe Bardsley
Hi Mark
Just wanted to thank you for your brilliant and very efficient service. It made walking so much more enjoyable not having to carry all of our stuff and meant we could bring luxuries like an extra pair of shoes to change out of our walking boots in the evenings! 🙂 Our bags were there when we arrived at our accommodation each day, which was great!
We were very impressed and will definitely recommend to any friends who are interested in walking Hadrian’s Wall.
Thanks again for all your help.
Ella
Hi Mark,
Have been meaning to send a thank you email since we finished Hadrian’s wall walk in early August,(an age thing.)
A big thank you to all your staff and yourself for making the walk enjoyable and run smoothly Did Dalesway walk year before
carrying backpack/kitchen sink, believe me the baggage transfer made for a more enjoyable walk, once again a big thank you.
Very good service.
Hi Mark
Just wanted to say that you provide a great service. From the initial phone call and email contact to the staff collecting and delivering the bags. From our experience I would recommend you to anyone needing their bags transferred from accommodation to accommodation as they walk Hadrian’s Wall.
Kind regards
Ian
We would like to thank Mark and the team for the service they provided. Mark picked up the phone after 7pm to sort out moving our bags for the following two days. They were delivered safely before we arrived and in the condition we left them. A good service.
Very pleased with the service you’ve provided across the whole wall walk. Very efficient and friendly
Many thanks indeed
Susan
Everything about using Hadrian’s Bags for my six days on the trail was effortless and efficient. Great communication and ease of booking led to a worry free week – my bag was always there in good time. Thanks Mark and the team!
I arranged with Hadrian’s Wall Baggage Transfer to transfer my luggage while I walked Hadrian’s Wall. Mark was knowledgeable and accommodating. The service was efficient, dependable and reliable. It is always a pleasure to arrive at the hotel after a long days walk to find the luggage there, delivered by hidden hands.
Excellent service, all worked as advertised.
Hi Mark
Thank you for making our trip worry free by providing an excellent and efficient service. Would definitely use you again and will recommend to anyone walking Hadrian’s Wall.
Very reliable service. No issues. Would highly recommend.
Hi Mark,
We are heading back home from Newcastle this morning after finishing the walk yesterday.
We had a fantastic time on the walk which we thoroughly enjoyed and were blessed with some great weather and only an hours rain over the 8 days walking!
Thanks for a brilliant and very prompt service with the baggage transfers. A most efficient and reliable service in our experience.
Once again many thanks for your help over the past week.
Regards
Mike
Used this service for the northumberland cost path in May 22. The whole service of 4 collections/drops went like clockwork, no probs at any stage. And for a fair price. Strongly recommend this team.
When embarking on a significant trek you need to be in a position to trust someone to transfer your baggage, and its precious belongings, from one destination to another. It is extremely gratifying to know that this will happen responsibly & effectively.
HWBT Limited certainly delivered for my trio & I would recommend their service to everyone.
Communication totally effective & simple.
Do not think we could have asked for more. Great job guys!
Thanks for transporting our bag during the last week.
I was completely satisfied with the service from your company.
Kind regards,
Alan Bradley
Really excellent service – absolutely perfect! Transfers were seamless, efficient and bags always waiting for us when we got to our B&B. Mark the owner was lovely and went way beyond what was expected – and did us a massive favour to help us out. Very much appreciated and worth every penny. Great value. No hesitation in recommending Hadrians Wall Baggage Transfer Ltd. Thank you Mark and team.
They were really nice and helpful when I had to make last minute plan changes. Definitely recommend
Amazing service ! Reliable, efficient and wonderful value! Not to mention friendly and supremely helpful staff both in the office and ‘on the road’. This is absolutely the way to manage your gear while you focus on walking the wall !
We had an excellent service, Mark was very helpful and quick with communication
Hi Mark
Thank you for making our trip worry free by providing an excellent and efficient service. Would definitely use you again and will recommend to anyone walking Hadrian’s Wall.
James
Just wanted to pass on our thanks for the brilliant service over our Wall Walk.
We will recommend you to anyone we know intending to have the same adventure.
Kind regards
Allison
Dear Mark
We’ve just made it to our final destination and our back bags were there waiting.
You have served us very well it has been a great week and we are grateful for your help in not only the bag transfers but also giving us some good recommendations on where to stay.
You also did pretty well on the weather!
Have a good rest of the season
Thank you
Jane
Fantastic service. Reliable and absolutely no time and at a bargain price. This is the service you need if walking the wall!
Hi Mark
I just wanted to compliment you on your very efficiently run business, and have no hesitation in recommending you to Heidi who is walking the wall with three friends in September.
Much to my amazement our bags were there when we opened the door each evening. Very impressed.
Thank you
Hi Mark, many thanks to you and your team for transporting our bags so efficiently. We couldn’t have done the walk without you. All the best
Everything went smoothly, very helpful when I rang to find where the bags had been left in one place, overall made the week a lot easier! Thanks
From the first contact Mark was just so easy to deal with. His service is first class – 11 out of 10. In an age when we generally get poor service and terrible communication, Hadrian’s Wall Bags is the complete opposite.
Mark knew all the locations we’d booked and just took care of our bags – Easy. They were collected after we left each morning and were waiting for us at the next stop over – 6 days.
If you’re walking Hadrian’s Wall, I’d recommend you walk with a day rucksack and let Hadrian’s Bags deal with the luggage.
Great, friendly service, managed to fit me in despite last minute booking and even more last minute changes. Would highly recommend.
Great service from Mark and his team they really got me out of trouble, at very short notice, on the 2nd day of my Hadrians Wall walk. its a great walk made even greater by the lack of a 10kg rucksack. Will definitely use this service again and would recommend anyone thinking of doing this walk to get their bags transferred.
Very slick, well organised company. Good communication via email, and all the bag transfers went according to plan. We never worried that our bags were not going to have made it. Also a very reasonable price per bag, and the fact that we therefore only had to carry lunch and emergency stuff with us made the walk infinitely more enjoyable.
Hi Mark
A big thank you for transferring our bags so efficiently whilst on the Hadrians wall walk.
Dear Mark
Thank you so much for your excellent service, it was such a relief to Julie and I to know that our bags were ready and waiting for us when we reached our accommodation.
We plan to do more long walks and wish you and your team would be there to help us.
Best wishes to you and the team.
We cannot thank Mark and his team enough. Hadrian’s Bags were professional, efficient and provided us with an excellent and stress free service, that left us free to enjoy our walking during the day. To know our bags were ready and waiting at each of our accommodation stops was such a weight off our mind. Mark helped us as we started our holiday with clear information and instructions and our bags were well looked after. We would definitely recommend them. All the best, Linda and Julie.
Fantastic service on our trip last week! Our last accommodation was an Air Bnb and it was tricky to coordinate timings etc..but they did it and saved us carrying huge bags all day!
Great service. Everything worked smoothly and I have no hesitation in recommending Mark and his team.
Great communication and very informative. Mark provided a fantastic service ensuring us a stress free walk without the need to carry huge packs.
Great value for money. Thanks you. Would highly recommend using this company.
Dear Mark
Just a note to say thank you very much for transporting our bags on Hadrian’s Wall! It all went very smoothly in the end and we certainly couldn’t have completed the walk carrying those heavy packs! So thanks very much for getting the bags to the right place every day. Hope the rest of the summer goes well for you!
With best wishes.
Hi Mark,
Many thanks to you and the team! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks especially for the pickup from The Sill – apologies again for missing the drop off time but your flexibility was really appreciated.
All the very best,
All went perfectly and so the only problem we had during our stay was the blisters on our feet. Thanks for providing such a great service!
Excellent experience very helpful and excellent communication price was fair couldn’t fault my experience with this company
Upon enquiry Mark went above and beyond to be helpful. I outlined my plans and they were particularly complicated for a specific drop off point to which he gave me many options to work with. It was a delightful service to have someone who wanted to work with me to help solve my problem. Sadly I had to cancel my trip due to injury but i will be returning to use this company again when i finally make my trip. Would definitely recommend!
This company were extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. It was so nice to arrive at a location after a long days walking and find our bags waiting for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone walking Hadrian’s Wall.
I have organised many walk trips for friends and colleagues over the years and found Mark to be the best and most flexible of all the transfer companies I have used. His communication was spot on, the deliveries were completed without fuss and our bags were waiting for us each night as we arrived. Thanks Mark and all at Hadrian’s Bags
Me and my wife recently completed the Hadrian’s Wall Walk and used the services of Hadrian’s Wall Baggage Transfer to move our luggage between stops so we could hike without the need too carry a load of extra equipment. I couldn’t be more complimentary of the service provided. Each day we’d arrive at our next stop with the luggage already being present, with no dramas or issues along the way. Mark was helpful from the outset and I would recommend the service to anyone wanting too complete the walk.
Fantastic service with very short notice. We could not have managed the walk without you especially because the weather was so warm. Thank you
Excellent & friendly service throughout. We were confident our baggage would be transferred efficiently over the week and were certainly not disappointed. It made our trip so much easier. Warmly recommended.
Brilliant service, took all the effort of moving cases and made our walk so easy. Reliable, friendly and efficient. Would absolutely recommend.
Decided to use the baggage transfer after training walks for the Hadrian Wall walk and so glad we did.
Schedule of our sites were given to Mark who contacted me to discuss in more detail. Very professional.
Every day, the luggage was dropped off before the agreed time and no problems encountered.
Highly recommend this Company. We met other walkers who were struggling and after passing Marks number to them, I know that they also used him
I was really delighted with this company after struggling with a muscle problem on the walk and needing by backpack transferred to the next campsite. Mark answers emails really quickly, courteously and the bag was collected without fuss. Through my own fault I had no change but Mark sorted it, no problem. 5 star – highly recommended.
Cannot recommend highly enough.
I wasn’t sure how everything would work (especially with COVID restrictions) but every morning we simply left our bags at the places we’d stayed and arrived to our next stop to find them waiting! (ranging from an Airbnb to YHA to hotel).
Hadrian’s bags knew all the places we stayed (even the Airbnb) so all ran super smoothly without us having to contact the places we were staying beforehand- zero hassle.
To book, we simply sent our itinerary to Hadrian’s bags via email, and Mark went above and beyond to help find a place where we could leave our bags on day 1.
All super safe and secure.
We saw so many people on the walk with big bags who looked utterly miserable (and in pain!). This is such a simple and cheap solution and really made it possible for us to enjoy our walk (and avoid back/neck pain). Absolutely fab and worth every penny!!
Thank you so much 🙂 🙂
HWBT were amazing! We had a couple changes before our walk and they very kindly accommodated them. Our luggage arrived before we did to every stage of our walk. Would definitely recommend them!
Hi Mark,
Have been meaning to send a thank you email since we finished Hadrians wall walk in early August, (an age thing.)
A big thank you to all your staff and yourself for making the walk enjoyable and run smoothly, did Dalesway walk year before
carrying backpack/kitchen sink, believe me the baggage transfer made for a more enjoyable walk, once again a big thank you.
Excellent service. Bags arrived safely in all of the five properties we stayed in before we got there. Would definitely recommend their services.
I used Hadrian’s Wall baggage transfer for a recent walking holiday and it was fantastic! The luggage was always there when I arrived and it was ridiculously easy. As my partner and I were staying a little longer in the region after the walk, it allowed us to bring books and other items that we would never have been able to carry but, more importantly, it meant we could really enjoy the walk – even with a fair bit of rain! I would highly recommend this service which is excellent value and, in our experience, totally seamless! All the places we stayed along the wall knew the company and were used to linking up with them. Absolutely money well spent and thanks to them for the excellent service. Would definitely use them again.
The service this company provided for us, at a very short notice, on the section between Gilsland and Heddon was excellent. Carrying fairly heavy loaded rucksacks would have turned this lovely walk into a chore. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Excellent service, really accommodating at short notice. Great value.
Just a really big thank you to Hadrian’s Bags for a really seamless efficient baggage service. It was great to have the knowledge that our bags,would be at our next destination waiting for us. It was fun to see our bags on your Van’s with your driver waving at us at different stages. Would highly recommend your company.
When you hit the Crags in the centre and best section of the trail, being without the bags makes such a difference to the enjoyment.
We were really happy with this service. We made additions and changes to our itinerary, but Mark handled it perfectly. Our bags were picked up and delivered to each location without any problem. I definitely recommend this service if you are hiking Hadrian’s wall.
Just wanted to say thank you for transferring our bag this September whilst undertaking Hadrian’s wall. It was very reassuring that the bag always arrived and often before 4 pm. Thanks.
Great service! They couldn’t be more helpful and our bag was always waiting for us at reception after a long day walking!
Mark
Many thanks for your assistance moving our bags and in particular for taking us back to Belford today.
We had a really enjoyable time and there was so much variety in the places we stayed, the food we ate, the people we met, the scenery, the flowers, bird trees, etc.
And, as last year, your non-stop commentary on the journey was fascinating – I almost feel I could fly a helicopter now!!!
This company provided an excellent and reliable baggage service, labelling and transferring bags to our requested drop off point each day to enable us to walk Hadrian’s Wall without the carrying excessive belongings allowing us to enjoy the walk. The middle section would be particularly tricky with a large bag. Thank you for looking after our bags over the week.
Really helpful, friendly service.
I decided halfway through my walk of Hadrian’s wall to use a baggage transfer service. The owner of the B&B recommended this company. Even though they were notified after 6.30pm, they worked me into the schedule for the next day. I also made a couple “last minute” changes to my itinerary and they remained flexible, professional, and courteous. I highly recommend them and would use them again if the need arose.
Very impressed with what Mark’s team provided. I just left my bags with the host and they arrived at my next destination.
They are well established in the area, with the local B&B owners that I stayed with recommending them over other similar services. I also couldn’t find another company below their price point either, true quality and fair pricing.
I honestly wouldn’t have been able to complete the walk without this service as my feet and shoulders were in dire straits from a carrying loaded rucksack.
Honestly saved our entire trip!
A friend and I had planned to walk the wall over 4 days carrying our own bags. Unfortunately both of us picked up foot injuries on day 2 of our trip. Thankfully we were able to continue some of our trip thanks to a lightened load.
We arranged for both our bags to be carried to the next bnb on our route for day 3 and only took a small daysack with us. It was quick and easy to organise and our bags made it to our bnb well before we did. We simply left them labelled up in the morning and they were picked up with no dramas and for a bargain price too!
Unfortunately we didn’t get to complete day 4 of our wall walk due to our injuries but we are already making plans to return, this time with baggage transfer! Couldn’t recommend more.
Dear Mark
We have just arrived back after a superb walk , great weather and a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Many thanks for your superb organisation with the bags, all delivered without any problems etc and for dropping us off at the start.
Much appreciated.
