CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
68 km from Brampton to Brampton, about 1 h 20 of riding. The stops in between: Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel, Drumburgh Roman fort and Hadrian's Wall be and back through Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel. The line favours views over speed.
Speed drops and stays down. Park rather than crawl through. 20 km through ground somebody thought worth listing. The road passes it rather than bypassing it.
The Cam Beck is a small stream that tumbles out of the hills and runs down towards the Irthing, and the Wall crosses it near Banks, in a stretch where the line is still very clear. Here the Wall's visible remains run along a ridge, with the green bank of the Vallum behind, the long ditch that the Romans dug on the south side to mark the military zone. The label gives the place as the stretch between the Cam Beck and Newtown, in the east of Cumbria, and the walk there is among the easiest on the whole line, with open fields and distant views of the Pennines. The stone Wall was built on a narrower foundation here than in the east, and a turf Wall once stood alongside it.

Hadrian's Wall between the Cam Beck and Ne is where the day begins. Next is Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel.
Carlisle was a Roman town before it was an English one. Luguvalium grew beside the Eden, and just across the river at Stanwix stood the largest fort on Hadrian's Wall, home to a cavalry regiment of a thousand men. The wall itself ran along the north side of today's city, and though houses and roads cover it, its line can be traced by plaques and fragments, and the wall and its Vallum are part of the UNESCO listing. A stretch of the ditch and the foundations of milecastles are visible beyond the suburbs.

Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel comes up about 14 km into the recorded legs. Next is Drumburgh Roman fort and Hadrian's Wall be.
The small Roman fort at Drumburgh sat on a low rise above the Solway marshes, guarding a stretch of Hadrian's Wall where the frontier ran along the edge of the firth towards its western end at Bowness. Nothing much survives of the fort itself, but its stones did not go far. Drumburgh Castle, a fortified farmhouse built in the sixteenth century by the Dacre family, is clearly made from reused Roman masonry, and you can still pick out dressed blocks and even the odd carved fragment set into its walls.
