Dist:0.3km<br/>The 'line of light' (13 March 2010) is following the 84-mile (135km) Hadrian's Wall National Trail. This route, heading west, joins the line of Hadrian's Wall at Heddon, although from there, there is little visible as the remains mostly lie under the Military Road. Volunteers, each holding a gas-powered beacon, are standing at 250m intervals. The beacons were lit at 1745 and the line filmed by helicopter. The impact of the beacons at this east end were greatly diluted by street lights and the extra traffic the event generated along the Military Road. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8565759.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/8566649.stm

Dist:0.3km<br/>The village of Heddon-on-the-Wall which lies on Hadrian's Wall National Trail http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/hadrianswall/ is clearly making the most of its associations with this little bit of Roman history. Streets in the estate are named: Trajan Walk, Mithras Gardens, Campus Martius, Aquila Drive and Remus Avenue.
