A Roman supply town rather than a fort, with a street you can walk down and granaries still standing to shoulder height. English Heritage lists it among its dog-friendly properties, dogs on leads. Level paths and a short walk from Corbridge village make it the easiest Roman site in the valley with a dog.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.

A fortified manor house in a wooded dene north of Corbridge, largely unaltered since the thirteenth century and usually almost empty. English Heritage lists it as dog-friendly, with dogs on leads. The approach lane is single track and the parking small.
Three and a half easy miles in an hour and three quarters on the flat river meadows, upstream to the Roman supply town at Corstopitum and back through the village. Park at the bridge-end car park south of the Tyne, free for two hours, or the longer-stay car park behind Hill Street; both are five minutes from the start. Wide open haughs give a good off-lead run with plenty of river access, but the grass is grazed at times, the Tyne is fast and cold after rain, and dogs on leads are allowed round the Roman site though not in its museum.
Six miles in three hours or so, north out of the village past the Roman town and up quiet lanes and field paths to the fortified manor house at Aydon, returning by Aydon Bank. Start from the car park on the south side of the Tyne bridge at Corbridge, which is free for two hours only, so a longer stay means the village pay-and-display off Hill Street. The lanes carry little traffic but have no pavement, several fields are grazed by cattle, and Aydon Castle is a paid English Heritage site with its own rules, so most walkers admire it from the gate and carry on.
Nobody has written one for Corbridge Roman Town. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
