This is one of the best stretches of Hadrian's Wall as it weaves and slithers through valleys and over hilltop crags. The wall is in good condition here and shows how the Romans built the wall into the lay of the crags to create a fantastic frontier defence. It simply is one of the most scenic points on Hadrian's Wall.
