16 miles (25.8 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This walk takes you along a popular section of the Hadrian's Wall Path from Chollerford to Heddon-On-The-Wall. The route runs for about 16 miles so can be completed in one day.
The walk starts from the car park at Chesters Roman Fort just to the west of Chollerford. From here you can pick up the waymarked trail and follow it east passing turrets, milecastles, and ancient roman forts which were built to house and defend this section of the wall. The route also passes the picturesque Whittle Dene Reservoir where you can enjoy a waterside circular walk along a series of pretty lakes.
The walk finishes in the noteworthy village of Heddon-On-The-Wall. It's a significant spot which includes the longest section of unbroken wall at its original and planned width, now known as Broad Wall.  The area also includes St Andrew's church where you'll find Saxon features dating back to 680AD.
