Overview

Leaving Corbridge, we head up through the village and on to Aydon Castle and Halton Castle - look out for the porcine topiary behind Halton church - before joining the Hadrian's Wall path.  We walk this path  as far as Turret 23B and then turn south over Hangman's Hill, following a route that takes us to Acomb Fell, Fern Hill Farm, Fern Hill Cottage and Beaufront School on the way to Anick.  From Anick, it's a short walk into Hexham.
