Hadrian's Wall, Heddon on the Wall The wall ditch is on the right (north side), now shallow, beyond the level berm next to the wall. Excavations elsewhere suggest that this area may have had its own layer of defences such as sharpened stakes,at least where they were needed for defence. The outer courses of often triangular-shaped stones were in-filled with more random shaped and sized stones, possibly a more accurate restoration than seen elsewhere along the Roman Wall. The vallum can be seen in the field to the left (south side). Why does this short section of the wall have such a pronounced bend (just behind)? Whatever the reason, it did help this small section survive the road building that destroyed many miles of the structure west from Newcastle.

Ornamental parkland and view south from Close House mansion Most of the land down to the river is now a golf course but groups of trees provide a fine vista south across the Tyne valley.

The biggest attraction of this hotel is the swimming pool, it’s amazing according to my two boys. We were on the 5th floor and the toilet in our room had not seem to be updated since the 1990’s it also did not have any soap or the necessary toiletries. The room was clean and spacious but the heating ...
