Not too many years ago the only way to cross Cam Beck here was by using the nearby Weir as a crossing. Lucky for you a foot bridge has been installed which is part of Hadrian's Wall National Trail.
The Roman Wall is believed to have crossed the Cam Beck valley precisely where the large curved weir is now placed, however, the surrounding fields are no longer travelled by Roman soldiers from nearby Camboglanna Fort. They are instead now travelled regularly on foot by tourists from all over the world.
As well as tourists travelling the Hadrians Wall trail the wooded Cam Beck valley attracts many frogs and toads. Hence the cache includes travel bug "Freddie Frog" for his finder to hop off with. ** Update: Well done "The Stoddies" on their FTF**
Happy caching!!
Notes:
No great divergence from the footpath is necessary to find the cache.
At certain times of year leafy tree cover may affect accuracy of GPS.
Weir viewing point: On east side of bridge there is a short stone block path to the viewing area (sometimes muddy)
This is not a "drive by", however you could park in Walton or Newtown villages and approach from either side (about a mile, over fields following Hadrians Wall footpath). Placed with the kind permission of the landowner.
