History

At Tollpark and Garnhall, there is a well-preserved section of the Antonine Wall. A temporary camp was located about 400m south of the wall here, but this now lies beneath the Wardpark North Industrial Estate.

What can I see today?

There are no visible traces of the camp but there is a long visible section of the ditch and outer mound of the Antonine Wall. This is an attractive walk, through woodland and with wide landscape views to the north.
