Hadrian’s Way is one of most loved walks / cycle paths in the North East England. This part of the walk focuses on the stretch in Scotswood area. Roughly from Benwell Dene to Denton Dene.
You can start from Hodgkin Park / Benwell Dene located in Benwell, West End of Newcastle upon Tyne, just off Benwell Lane.
Walk downhill through Benwell Dene (it was unfortunately blocked last week) or through Hodgkin Park. At the end of the park, if you cross the Whitehouse Road, a small path takes you to Hadrian’s Way. This gallery focuses on walk towards West from here. You will end up at bottom end of Denton Road (Old Scotswood Village). You can then continue uphill through Denton Dene, alternate routes are to go riverside on Hadrian’s Way (Cycle Path) or alternate route through Denton Dene across the A1 to Lemington.
Hodgkin Park (also known as Benwell Dene) is located in Benwell, West End of Newcastle upon Tyne, just off Benwell Lane.
This park was donated to the people of Newcastle in 1899 by Thomas Hodgkin, a prominent banker of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The park has a dene, children’s play area, various walking routes and split in two parts by Armstrong road.

We all have shots that we have taken that we have learned from. Here are 4 of my photos that I learned most from
Denton Burn North / South and Denton Dene is about 1.5 mile long walk. Denton Burn North and South are relatively on flat ground and are next to sports grounds behind silver lonnen. In the middle of two parts, just after crossing west road you can see parts of historic Hadrian’s wall.
Denton Dene however is a hidden nature reserve in middle of the city. This gallery features about half the walk. The dene also has Hadrian’s Way crossing through it.
