This hiking tour takes you on a round trip from Gilsland to Birdoswald Roman Fort. On the way back the track follows the line of Hadrian's Wall, crossing the River Irthing over a new footbridge. The remains of the ancient Roman bridge can be visited along this walk.
The total duration of 3 hours includes a visit to Birdoswald Roman Fort, an excarvation site managed by English Heritage. A small but interesting museum is included on site.
Refreshments can be found at Gilsland and Birdoswald.
The track starts and ends at a free car park at Gilsland.
If weather is good the track can be extended by a walk through the woods east of Gilsland to the Popping Stone. However, we have no gps-recording of this additional loop because the paths were too muddy due to heavy rain.
