By Road:
If you are travelling from the WEST along the A69 (from M6/Carlisle), follow the brown and white tourism signs to ‘Hadrian’s Wall’. As you near the junction, near Greenhead, turn left off the A69 and follow the signs to ‘The Sill’.
If you are travelling from the EAST along the A69 (from A1/ Newcastle), follow the brown and white tourism signs to ‘Hadrian’s Wall’. Take the slip road off the A69 towards Corbridge. At the roundabout at the bottom of the slip road, take the third exit onto the A68. At the Errington Arms turn left on to the B6318 and follow the signs to ‘The Sill’.
The Sill: National Landscape Discovery Centre is located at NE47 7AN
By Coach:
If you are coming from the WEST along the A69, we recommend all coach drivers to turn off the A69 at the Greenhead junction and follow the signs to ‘The Sill’ along the B6318, which is very scenic with good views of Hadrian’s Wall.
If you are coming from the EAST along the A69, we recommend all coach drivers to turn off the A69 at the Stagshaw junction, near Corbridge and follow the signs to ‘The Sill’, along the B6318, which is very scenic with good views of Hadrian’s Wall.
For all coach drivers, travelling on the A69, we do not recommend that you use the the road up from the Bardon Mill junction off the A69. It is very narrow in places with soft verges either side, and is not suitable for coaches.
