Hadrian's Wall - Independent Walking

In AD122 the Roman Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a wall across Britain to define the furthest edge of his dominions. Despite the depredations of the centuries, parts of it still stand, bestriding a spacious countryside of wide-open skies haunted only by the mournful cry of the curlew. This particular twalk follows the best section of Hadrian's Wall. After passing the ruins of Lanercost Priory and Birdoswald Fort the scenery becomes more dramatic and you follow the best preserved sections of the Wall past the wild lake of Crag Lough. From the atmospheric ruins of Housesteads Fort, Vindolanda and Chesters you finish at the beautiful town of Corbridge.
