purplecat | Hadrian's Wall: Days 6 & 7 (Reply)

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.

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.

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
