The route follows the B6318 out of Heddon, crosses the A69, then follows the waymarked trail, sometimes in the Vallum ditch, and beside the road, with only minor deviations all the way to Chollerford. There are nevertheless some interesting things to see - remains of Vindobala Roman Fort, The Welton Reservoirs, with beautiful associated meadows which in spring have many flowers, the site of Halton Castle, the field patterns in the fields nearby, and there is the battle site of heaven field. Won by Oswald, King of Northumbria, against forces sent from Wales and the English Midlands. You then come into Chollerford and Humshaugh - areas for accommodation.
