On our final day we walked from Chollerford to Heddon-on-the-Wall. There wasn't a great deal of wall left to be seen now we had come down from the hillier parts.


Stretch of wall alongside a path that goes under trees.

The remains of a square turret.
This was our last turret - just after Chollerford. It's more exciting when you are coming in the other direction and it is your first turret.

A low stretch of Hadrian\'s Wall in a field.

View of a field with undulating ridges showing where ditch and vallum were.
Although there is no wall visible here - the ditch and vallum have left their mark on the landscape visible even after 1900 years.


We got to Heddon-on-the-Wall in good time to meet [personal profile] sir_guinglain for dinner in a pub. We didn't actually visit the wall at Heddon until the next morning.


Longish stretch of low wall next to a fence.

Then we went home.
