| HADRIAN'S WALL | HWNT | 60 MILES | B+ | |||||||||
| Starting from Heddon on the Wall we head westward to finish at the gates of Carlisle Castle, along the way we pass familiar landmarks such as Housesteads, Chesters, Vindolanda and Birdoswald forts with the best of the Wall in between and stunning scenery. The walking is as varied as the terrain with some steep ups and downs but 10 mils a day will give ample time to walk at a leisurely pace, take pictures and explore the historical sights, not forgetting the tea and cakes. This area of Northumberland offers wide open spaces, exposed ridges and peaceful river valleys but the sense of history is always there as we follow in the footsteps of the Roman legions who endured the elements to build and garrison this far flung outpost of the Roman Empire. We will allow time for a visit off the Wall to Vindolanda fort on a short walking day. For the evening meals we will take you to various places to sample the variety of the area. | ||||||||||||
