Location: Haltwhistle, England

Embark on a captivating run along a section of Hadrian's Wall, beginning at Cawfields Quarry car park near Haltwhistle in Northumberland National Park. This 9.5km out-and-back route largely follows the historic wall path to Walltown Quarry, returning via an adjacent path to the south, and blends real heritage with wide-open Northumberland views.

With 114m of ascent and around a quarter of the surface paved, the terrain is undulating rather than punishing, so it suits steady training runs as much as a curious first visit. Take a moment at the high points to look along the line of the wall before you turn for home.
