Hadrian's Coastal Route - Millom to Bowness-on-Solway
Hadrian's Wall, running from Wallsend to Bowness, is a much visited attraction and an iconic landmark with over 200 years of serious research behind it. The Western Frontier has had barely 70 but through the efforts of a small band of archaeologists and the Hadrian's Wall Heritage Trust Ltd this is gradually changing. The frontier route followed in this guide, running from Ravenglass to Bowness on Solway, is punctuated by Roman forts, the visible remains of a frontier of watchtowers, mileforts and manned bases.
