Explore the North East
Rangers and Rovers
If you want to explore the cities, coast and country in one day then choose from three of our Day Ranger or Round Robin tickets which include Hadrian's Wall Country and the North East. Hop on and off all day on a particular route or within a defined area - the choice is yours. A great car-free day out for all the family and great value too!
Hadrian's Wall Country Line Day Ranger
Discover Hadrian's Wall Country and more - everything between the Irish Sea at Whitehaven and the North Sea at Sunderland. Explore the two great cities of Carlisle and Newcastle and years of bloody history in between! There are many walks near this historic wall or, if you want some retail therapy, stop off at the Metrocentre.
