Sewingshields Raman Wall (Hadrian's Wall)

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A section of Hadrian's Wall running along the crest of Sewingshields Crag near Simonburn. This section of the Wall was built around 122 AD and incorporates Milecastle 35, which is sited in an impressive location on Whin Sill.

The milecastle is 18.3 metres wide by 15.2 metres, and the walls still stand to an impressive 3.2 metres in height.

The wall in this location is a combination of 'narrow wall' and 'broad wall', showing how the design for Hadrian's Wall changed part way through the building process.

Sewingshields can be reached on foot from Housteads Roman Fort, a walk of some 2 miles along the Hadrian's Wall footpath.
