Hadrian's Wall - Gilsland - Birdoswald Roman Fort

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.
