The wall climbs to its highest point over Winshields Crags, before descending to the delightfully named Bogle Hole. Continue through Thorny Doors and up Cawfields Crags with excellent views onto the Pennines. The path passes by Great Chesters and Magnis (Roman forts), passing Greenhead, the ruin of Thirlwall Castle and, in another mile or so, crosses the Cumbria/Northumberland border on the River Irthing at Gilsand (possibility of accommodation). Interesting Roman defences are found at Birdoswald, and eventually after a trek to Banks, you will find a shop. However, it is another three miles of some of the best cross-country walking of the entire trek before you reach Walton. The pretty little town of Brampton is the obvious place for accommodation around here, but this is two miles off the route.
