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.
59 km from Haltwhistle to Haltwhistle, about 48 min of riding. On the way it passes Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel, Hadrian's Wall & vallum between field boun and back through Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Haltwhistle likes to call itself the centre of Britain, a claim measured, by one method or another, from the farthest tips of the island, and it does sit in the narrow waist of the country, between the North Sea and the Irish Sea. The town, with about four thousand people, lies in the South Tyne valley, just south of Hadrian's Wall, and it is a good base for exploring the central section of the frontier.

Haltwhistle Burn 1 Roman temporary camp is where the day begins. Next is Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel.
Here the Wall is at its most dramatic. In the central sector of Hadrian's Wall, north of Haydon Bridge and Hexham in Northumberland, the Roman frontier runs along the top of the Whin Sill, a long ridge of hard volcanic rock that breaks the moorland into a series of north-facing cliffs. The Romans built their wall right along the crest, using the natural defences, and the result is a line of stone that rises and falls with the crags like the spine of a great animal. Behind it, to the south, runs the vallum, a broad earthwork ditch with mounds on either side that marked the military zone, still clearly visible across the fields.
