Cawfield Quarry is situated in the
middle of the best preserved section of
Hadrian's Wall.
The Quarry is a popular place for
walking alongside the wall with a large car
park and bus stop where the Hadrian's Wall
Bus drops off and picks up. You can
walk from here to Steel Rig and Housteads
Fort and take the bus back to here.
The walk between Cawfield Quarry and
Housesteads Roman Fort, about 6 miles east,
is regarded as the top section of Hadrian's
Wall, along the top of rugged hills.
About 3 and a half miles out you will
pass Sycamore Gap where a tree has
grown next to the wall, between two rocky
hills. There is also a car park close to
Sycamore Gap named Steel Rigg, and another
car park there at the Once Brewed Visitor
Centre.
