The Hadrian's Wall East walk traditionally ends in Wallsend, but some may choose to finish their trip by staying in the popular seaside town of Whitely Bay, just a short train journey away. As a UK holiday destination, Whitely Bay offers a good selection of pubs, restaurants and places to stay, and if you're looking to celebrate your achievement in walking the Hadrian's Wall route, it certainly offers a great party atmosphere, especially at weekends. The iconic St Mary's lighthouse, which you can visit, sits on the coast to the north of the town centre.
