The trail takes a dynamic, new look at the northernmost frontier of
the Roman Empire and embraces the majestic landscape through which the
garrisons marched for 300 years.
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.
