Along most of the path there are some remains of the wall to be seen. At Housteads the way is alongside the Roman Fort through magnificent scenery of the National Park.

The last part is across the flat marshes of the Solway Firth, following the line of yet another railway and canal now disappeared except for a sea lock at Port Carlisle.
