EP 9 Blenkinsopp Castle to the Mare and Foal - The Grand Tour of Northumberland

26th January 2019 Join us on our walk of historic Northumberland as we continue our hike. Packed full of history and beautiful scenery. UK hiking at its best in England's least populated county. Please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss any future sections. ----- If you would like to support me, I am raising money for surgery in Spain: https://gofund.me/045d82ea ----- Section 9: Blenkinsopp Castle to the Mare and Foal We begin the trail where we left off last time at Blenkinsopp Castle and start with a ghost story, the white lady of Blenkinsopp. Crossing the A69 and Newcastle-Carlisle line, we headed into Greenhead and proceeded up to Thirlwall Castle. The site of another Northumbrian legend, the dwarf and the gold table. It is said that the two castles were once connected by a secret tunnel. From Thirlwall Castle we pick up the Hadrian's Wall trail and followed it first to the Roman Army Museum but sadly it was closed. However, we were still able to see the remains of Carvoran Roman Fort (also known as Magnis Roman Fort). The fort once stationed soldiers from Syria. Our next stop was King Arthur's Well. Sadly the weather turned for the worst and we were not able to spend time exploring the site. So I am unsure whether the well was the small pond in the gap or near the hill with the beech trees. However, it is the first site we encountered connected to the legend of King Arthur who was supposedly a Roman Briton who fought against the invading Saxons. For more on King Arthur on the wall check out Mark Nicol's video:    • Forgotten Roman Forts   From King Arthur's Well we continued along the wall to Aesica Roman Fort at Great Chesters. This fort has more ruins left over than the previous one with stone clearly visible and excellent satellite imagery courtesy of Google Maps. This fort once housed the 6th cohort of Nervians from modern day Belgium. These were later replaced by the 6th cohort of Raetians from modern day Switzerland. And finally, they were replaced with the 2nd cohort of Asturians from modern day Spain. Once we reached Caw Gap at the Shield on the Wall, we left the wall and followed the road to General Wade's military road (constructed in response to the Jacobite uprising of 1745 to connect Newcastle and Carlisle - making it easier in future to relieve either castle from siege). On route we passed the Mare and Foal standing stones. The footage I've used is from Midwinter's day 2016. The weather prevented us from visiting the stones as we were cold, wet, and muddy. It was important to get my daughter in the warmth of the car and dried off. ----- Blenkinsopp Castle: https://www.blenkinsoppcastleinn.co.uk/ The Greenhead Hotel: https://www.greenheadhotel.com The Roman Army Museum: http://www.vindolanda.com/roman-army-...
