By the time I had reached this stage of the walk I had already been very busy all day exploring Hadrian's Wall, Birdoswald Fort and the Roman Army Military Museum--I do hope to return and continue to explore Walltown Craigs etc... but on this day I do cross a few fields to visit Thirlwall Castle which I found nestled in a small, quiet hamlet not far from  Hadrian's Wall and with a quaint little bridge crossing a gentle stream---very peaceful now but oozing with history, battles, and no doubt Reiver problems---or did the Reivers  reside here as well.

As for this part of the Wall---absolutely breath-taking---panoramic scenes of Northumberland and raw history all around----Hadrian's Wall
