Jessie Mothersole, an artist who walked the whole line of the wall, combines a history of the Roman frontier in Britain with a description of its forts, milecastles, turrets and the puzzling earthwork called the Vallum. Most of the book is a walk from Wallsend across Northumberland and Cumberland, stage by stage, with notes on what survives at each point.
