Summary
This section of wall walk is carried on large foundation arches - clearly visible from the exterior of the wall - whilst the arches supporting the walkway are visible from the interior. Much brickwork along this stretch was replaced by stone when the parapet and wall walk were rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The rampart starts approximately 40m south of the Red Tower, probably approximately where the edge of the water was at the time of building.
