Hadrian’s Wall – Milecastle 74– Burgh Marsh

Roman Mile Castle in Carlisle

Milecastle 74 (Burgh Marsh) was one of a series of Milecastles or small fortlets built at intervals of approximately one Roman mile along Hadrian’s Wall.

Not investigated, there are no visible remains. The mile fort was probably near the Burgh-by-Sands-Drumburgh road. Its presumed position could only be determined from measuring points at neighboring fortifications and is located in the wet meadows of Burgh Marsh, where no remains of Hadrian’s Wall have yet been found.

The River Eden is a prominent feature at the start of the days from Carlisle City Centre. The trail deviates away from the wall until you pass over the M6 Motorway.

Hadrians Wall - Day 1 - Bowness-on-Solway to Carlisle

Due to logistics, I had decided that it was easier to stay in Carlisle for two nights and take the bus out to the starting point of Bowness-on-Solway on the first morning. Bowness-on-Solway is the site of the second largest Roman fort, Maia and this section of the walk enjoys coastal views across the Solway Firth to Scotland.
