COLLISION & CONFLICT
PROJECT OUTLINE
Collision & Conflict will be a geolocated sound walk through the Northumberland Cumbria landscape. The walk will travel along Hadrian’s Wall National Trail taking Thirlwall Castle, Green Croft On The Wall, the pronounced ditch at Gilsland, preserved milecastle at Poltross Burn, 914m stretch of wall at Willowford and to roman bridge remains beside the River Irthing leading to Birdoswald Roman Fort.
Often called the Borderlands or Forgotten Lands, the area is wild, bleak, beautiful, and unforgiving. Conflict over boundaries have dominated the history of the area, leaving scars present on the landscape. Thirlwall Castle is where the barbarians ‘thirled’, or threw down part of the wall, during a raid in Roman times. Romans were replaced with Reivers, with Gilsland at the centre of conflict and raids between Reiver families. Conflict continues in contemporary rural Britain with contested views on what land should be used for; production, consumption, preservation, diversification.

Support Us
We are fundraising!!!!
We need your help to realise our plans for transforming The Barn in to a creative & well being hub.
We have had a 4 year journey to get to this point. In a sensitive site we have had many hoops to jump; archeological digs, surveys, negotiation with planners, securing planning permission, detailed drawings and raising finance.
We were almost good to go however a perfect wave of circumstances globally have caused a huge rise in construction prices, increasing the cost of the project. Working with the architect we are on Plan B but still need to raise additional funds.
Please consider supporting us through our crowdfunder.
Thank you
Amanda & Kit
