Corbridge to Humshaugh
Corbridge is a pleasant market town on the banks of the South Tyne. From Corbridge your transfer takes you to the wall at Port Gate, where you begin your walk along the vallum, through rolling Northumbrian countryside, past turrets and milecastles. The final 2 miles are marked by a descent through pleasant parkland to the North Tyne Valley and the picturesque villages of Wall, Chollerford and Humshaugh. (All of which we use for overnight stops). The nearby Chesters fort is also worth a visit.

Humshaugh To Twice Brewed
The route soon reaches Northumbria National Park and classic Roman Wall country with expansive views and undulating moorland. The route climbs steadily at first, past turrets and a Brocolitia Roman fort, it then becomes more steeply undulating on reaching the Whin Sill escarpment.

The views of open moorland, the South Tyne Valley, the Pennines and of the wall itself following ridges ahead, are breathtaking. The route passes the well preserved Housteads Fort and continues in a similar dramatic fashion to Twice Brewed and on to your accommodation.

Carlisle to Bowness-on-Solway
The final section is a complete contrast to all that has gone before. Initially along the banks of the Eden and then across the pancake flat salt marshes of the Solway Firth. The mountains of the Lake District are visible to the south and Scotland is just across the water to the north. This expansive estuary is internationally renowned for its thriving bird life and the area has a peaceful charm of its own.
