The Military Road is a name given locally to part of the B6318 road in Northumberland, England, which runs from Heddon-on-the-Wall (54°59′51″N 1°47′34″W / 54.9974°N 1.7929°W) in the east to Greenhead (54°58′55″N 2°32′04″W / 54.9820°N 2.5344°W) in the west. It should not be confused with the Roman-built Military Way adjoining Hadrian's Wall to the south. Nor should it be confused with other 'Military Roads' constructed in Scotland under Field Marshal Wade who was responsible for a series of highways in Scotland. These include roads at Corrieyairack Pass and Aberfeldy.

  • The Military Road is a name given locally to part of the B6318 road in Northumberland, England, which runs from Heddon-on-the-Wall (54°59′51″N 1°47′34″W / 54.9974°N 1.7929°W) in the east to Greenhead (54°58′55″N 2°32′04″W / 54.9820°N 2.5344°W) in the west. It should not be confused with the Roman-built Military Way adjoining Hadrian's Wall to the south. Nor should it be confused with other 'Military Roads' constructed in Scotland under Field Marshal Wade who was responsible for a series of highways in Scotland. These include roads at Corrieyairack Pass and Aberfeldy. For much of its length, the Military Road is straight and resembles a Roman road. However, the term "military road" comes from the impetus to build a road suitable for the movement of military equipment and vehicles between Newcastle and Carlisle. This was largely in response to the poor conditions encountered on the road by Hanoverian forces under Field Marshal Wade in 1746 when trying to suppress the Jacobites fighting for Bonnie Prince Charlie in the North. The struggle of the troops under Field Marshal Wade, and his association with other 'Military Roads' in Scotland, is likely to be the source of the claim that he was also responsible for this route. The road is notable as it runs alongside Hadrian's Wall for much of its length, and long stretches of the road are built on the foundations of the wall. (en)
