From Martin Paminter I lived just a few miles from Heavenfield for about six years, and often drove past, or walked from, the large wooden cross on the Military Road.
When I started my current job as the St. Oswald's Way Project Officer, I had to research the significance of the site, which is the end-point for the long-distance walk.
Heavenfield is notable for Hadrian’s Wall, a battle, Christian symbolism and pilgrimage, and the cross that stands there today captures much of what makes such an inspirational place so special.
