Day 3 -Â From Housesteads Roman Fort to Gilsland on the
Our coach takes us from Haltwhistle to yesterday’s end point at Housesteads Roman Fort.
The Wall here is high up with fantastic views and spectacular crags, and the day includes some of the most iconic sections of the whole Wall – Steel Rigg, Cawfield Crags and the now famous Sycamore Gap. We continue beyond Haltwhistle, past Greenhead, and complete our walk at Gilsland on the Cumbrian border where our coach will meet us to take us back to Haltwhistle
