Hadrian’s Wall – Eastern Section
The Eastern Section of Hadrian’s Wall begins its journey westwards at the Roman Fort of Segedunum in what is now appropriately known as Wallsend close to where the River Tyne meets the North Sea. The course of the Wall takes it through the vibrant and beautiful city of Newcastle Upon Tyne before reaching the eastern boundary of Northumberland where my story begins with a short section of Hadrian’s Wall at Heddon On The Wall. From here the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail follows the course of the Wall along the Military Road which was built after the Jacobite rebellion to enable the fast movement of troops from east to west. The main presence of the Roman Wall along this stretch are remains of the North Ditch and the Vallum. [show_more more="Read More" less="Read Less"] From Heddon On The Wall the Military Road climbs gradually to the Stagshaw roundabout through beautiful open agricultural land with panoramic views across Tynedale to the distant North Pennines. Stagshaw was in distant times the site of the Portgate, a fortified control point on Hadrian’s Wall where it crossed the major Roman Road of Dere Street. Further west past Milecastle 24 is the old church of St…
Hadrian’s Wall – Middle Section
On with my east – west journey we start with the Roman Fort of Chesters where Hadrian’s Wall crosses the wide and shallow River North Tyne. The remains can be found on both sides of the river. Our journey east progresses uphill past a long section of Hadrian’s Wall from Black Carts to Limestone Corner. The Hadrian’s Wall Path continues to the ancient Roman Mithraic Temple at Brocolitia and to Sewingshields where it joins the rugged and undulating crags of the Whinsill Fault that define this section of Hadrian’s Wall with its iconic and dramatic scenery. The point where the Trail turns left and downwards is one of the grandest views of Hadrian’s Wall. The undulations of the crags can be seen disappearing westwards into the far distance. [show_more more="Read More" less="Read Less"]From vantage points such as this it is clear to see how the topography has assisted in the effectiveness of Hadrian’s Wall as a border between the Roman Empire and the hostile peoples further to the north. The Roman Wall sweeps downwards towards Housesteads which is a well preserved example of a Roman Fort layout. From here the ups and downs of the crags take over with the…
Hadrian’s Wall – Western Section
The Western Section of Hadrian’s Wall begins at the Poltross Burn Milecastle in Gilsland. Following the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail takes you to Willowford and the ruins of the Roman Bridge across the River Irthing. High above the river is the Roman Fort of Birdoswald where excavations clearly show the design of the fort. Travelling west the landscape changes to archetypal English pastoral scenery. Just to the south of the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail is the magnificent red sandstone ancient Lanercost Priory, the eastern part of which is a photogenic ruin. The road by the Priory takes you to the picturesque small town of Brampton with its Market Square and unusual octagonal Moot Hall. The next major feature is the historic city of Carlisle with its very attractive centre. Places of interest include the impressive Castle and Tullie House Museum. [show_more more="Read More" less="Read Less"] As we move forever west the countryside features an abrupt change to the salt marshes of the Solway Firth and eventually the Irish Sea. Set alone on the marshes is the King Edward I monument with its backdrop of the marches and the distant Scottish hill Criffel and there is a magnificent statue of the…
