This is part of a short circular route in the Knowefield area of Carlisle.
The walk takes in both Hadrian's Wood and Knowefield Wood which includes Tarraby Lane This narrow hedge lined track runs north east from Beech Grove to the small hamlet of Tarraby, where there once stood Drawdykes Castle.
Running alongside Tarraby Lane is Hadrian's Wall. All that remains of the Wall is a long and narrow tract of open land bordered by fences and hedgerows.
It is tempting to imagine that Tarraby Lane was used by people in Roman times as a supply route perhaps, for the various garrisons along the wall. It may have provided a safer route for other travellers too, with the Wall adjacent offering partial shelter from the elements.
There is a parking area at the end of Beech Grove at N 54 54.771 W 002 56.063, if parking elsewhere please be considerate to the residents and note that Beech Grove is on a bus route.
Please bring own pen/pencil.
