Turning south across pasture and moorland not often walked , over the Stangate onto an old drovers road , Haresby Road, on a ridge allowing views into the Tyne Valley and across to The Wall. More pasture and moorland takes us back to Housesteads fort , and the cinder path down to the car park. This is wild open countryside ‘seldom seen’.Dress for changeable weather and wear suitable footwear. Bring a packed lunch, snacks and a drink for the break.
