Hadrian's Wall was 80 Roman miles (73.5 English miles or 117 kilometres) long, its width and height dependent on the construction materials which were available nearby: east of River Irthing the wall was made from squared stone and measured 3 metres (9.7 ft) wide and 5 to 6 metres (16-20 ft) tall; west of the river the wall was made from turf and measured 6 metres (20 ft) wide and 3.5 metres (11.5 ft) high. This does not include the wall's ditches, berms, and forts. The central section measured 8 Roman feet wide (7.8 ft or 2.4 m) on a 10 foot base. Some parts of this section of the wall survive to a height of 10 feet. source: Wikipedia

As an aside, the wall was created as defensive measure and it ran across northern England. Soldiers stationed there often complained about the weather.
