Black Carts Turret (Hadrian's Wall)

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Black Carts Turret (Hadrian's Wall) A well-preserved stretch of Hadrian's Wall in a farm field, including the remains of a wall turret. This section of the Wall stretches for 460 metres, following the course of the B6318, just north of the road. The turret is also known as Turret 29A.

The turret measures 3.45 by 3.4 metres (roughly 12 feet by 11 feet), with a south facing entrance, and was likely built by the 20th Legion. It stands about 100 metres east of the Simonsburn road.
Black Carts, Chollerford, Northumberland, England

About Black Carts Turret (Hadrian's Wall)
Attraction Type: Roman
Location: Located 2 miles west of Chollerford just north of the B6318. Note: it is very difficult to park near the turret or this section of Hadrian's Wall. Foot acces is by far the easier option, as the Hadrian's Wall long distance path follows the course of the Wall here.
