Hadrian's Wall & The Pennine Way (part 1)

Leaving the village of Greenhead over the Tipalt Burn bridge.

Passing through Walltown where the Roman Army Museum is based

Having joined Hadrian's Wall, looking back at Walltown Quarry.

The wall here is 10 to 12 courses high -  one of the best preserved sections

The wall passes along the top of the escarpment of  Whin Sill for many miles 

There are lots of ups and downs between gaps in the escarpment

One of the many ruined Turrets along the wall

Looking south back down South Tynedale

The wall crosses the 73 miles from coast to coast across the north of England with Milecastles like this along the way 

More ups and downs of Whin Sill

The highest point on Whin Sill with great views, on a clear day, to The Cheviot in the north and Cross Fell to the south

The trig point at high point of Whin Sill -  1132 ft.
