Overview

A leisurely walk around Stagshaw with the prospect of the Errington Coffee House at the end.

Our route follows the Roman Wall Path initially, then visits Portgate, Stagshaw Bank and Halton Castle before returning via the Roman Wall Path (again).  Varied terrain of fields, woodland and quiet tracks/lanes with good views throughout.  One crossing of the busy A68. One short, steep climb but only 450 feet of ascent in total.  Quite a few styles on the Roman Wall section but all are in good condition.
