Voices From The Wall

Voices From The Wall

Listener Guidance: Two pieces in this sound walk – Claudia’s Lament and Living on the Edge: No Place for a Woman – explore difficult historical experiences including war, loss, abduction and sexual violence. Some listeners may find this distressing. Please read the individual audio descriptions for further information. You are welcome to pause or skip these tracks at any time. Voices From The Wall is a new immersive sound walk that brings the landscape and history of Hadrian’s Wall to life through story, voice, and sound. Created in collaboration with local writers, performers, artists, and community participants, the project offers a powerful new way to experience the Wall — not simply as a monument, but as a living landscape shaped by human lives, memories, fears, hopes, and everyday stories across centuries. The sound walk invites visitors to explore free-to-enter English Heritage sites including Harrows Scar Milecastle & Wall, Poltross Burn Milecastle, and Willowford Roman Bridge & Wall. The project was supported by English Heritage’s Community Connections grants, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
