Follow the road as above, turning off at Rudchester farm, away from the wall line for the next 11 miles, through Horsley and then finally across the fields, entering woods to cross the Whittle dene. Cross fields and minor roads, zig-zagging across the landscape until rolling onto the old Newcastle road and into Corbridge, with the interesting remains of Corstopitum Roman Fort at the intersection of what was Dere Street, the Roman Road. Reach the pretty village of Corbridge, then crossing the Tyne the trail heads to Dilston, going over the railway line and on through the forests of Park Wood, past the Duke's House in all its neo-gothic glory. Then it is down through Spruce and Larch into the old market town of Hexham, a great place to pause if you are not staying here. It has a famous market place and Abbey, lots of beer & good views from the Tyne. From Hexham, either stay the night, or walk, or take a taxi the five miles to Chollerford to continue the wall walk. Cross over the Tyne, continuing via minor roads through the former pit village of Acomb and re-join the line of Hadrian's Wall a mile before Chollerford, which we reach once again on the B6318 military road.
