There is no better way to view fell country than to follow the Roman
road east from the port at Ravenglass, the maritime link with the Roman
Empire, passing through wild mountains to ultimately trace the frontier
along the Great Whin Sill where the Wall sits proud upon a striking
escarpment within Northumberland National Park.
This is a real
journey of discovery, linking ten forts, each in turn vital connections
underpinning life on the Wall. The trail stretches for just over 100
miles through the constantly changing, thoroughly absorbing, and
spellbindingly beautiful landscape of the Lake District, Cumbria and
Northumberland .
The trail breaks conveniently at Penrith and the
two guidebooks for each part of the trail (Ravenglass to Penrith, and
Penrith to Bardon Mill) are included in this offer.
