Route edit

The road begins in Hexham before overlapping the A69 for 0.7 miles, then passing the villages of Acomb and Wall prior to meeting the B6318 road just to the south of Chollerford – unusually, traffic on the A6079 must give way to the traffic on the B6318, despite the fact that "A"-roads are more important than "B"-roads. The A6079 continues through the village of Chollerton, and terminates at its junction with the A68 road to Edinburgh, nine miles (14 km) north-west of Corbridge.[citation needed]
