7Hadrian’s Wall
Stretching across Northern England, Hadrian’s Wall was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD to protect the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Today, remnants of the wall and its associated forts, milecastles, and watchtowers offer a fascinating glimpse into Roman military life in Britain.
Walking along sections of Hadrian’s Wall, travelers can enjoy scenic views of the Northumberland countryside, with the rugged landscape enhancing the sense of history. Museums along the route, such as the Vindolanda Museum, showcase Roman artifacts and personal items, providing further insight into life on the empire’s edge.
