The only section of Hadrian’s Wall you’re permitted to walk atop. Autumn leaves, blue skies and views north across Broomlee Lough towards Wark and Kielder Forest.

The UK’s first National Trail, the Pennine Way, crosses Hadrian’s Wall near Housesteads Roman Fort. 268 miles and route of the epic Spine Race vs 84 miles of Hadrian’s Wall Path, part of the route of the equally epic, but bit less brutal, 70-mile The Wall ultramarathon.

Hadrian’s Wall oddities: Rickerby Park Tower
