Εύκολες πεζοπορίες και βόλτες Stapleton

Με τα καλοδιατηρημένα τμήματα του τείχους και τις κοντινές όχθες, τους πυργίσκους και έναν ασβεστοκάμινο, το Hare Hill προσφέρει εξαιρετικές γνώσεις για το ρωμαϊκό παρελθόν. Μαζί με τη διάβαση του ποταμού Irthing, αυτή η περιοχή πρέπει να ήταν ένας πραγματικός κόμβος ρωμαϊκής δραστηριότητας.

Αυτό είναι ένα υπέροχο σνακ-καλύβα, και οι ντόπιοι ιδιοκτήτες ήταν απίστευτα φιλικοί. Η κυρία του σπιτιού μας έφτιαξε σούπα, η οποία σερβιρίστηκε με ένα ψωμάκι. Αυτό ήταν πολύ ευπρόσδεκτο μια υγρή, θυελλώδη μέρα, και είχαμε μια πολύ ωραία συζήτηση μαζί της επίσης. Ο χώρος έχει μερικά καθίσματα, στέγαστρο και ένα υπόστεγο γεμάτο σνακ, γεύματα μικροκυμάτων και ποτά, όλα τακτοποιημένα σε κουτιά και με τιμές.

Banks East Turret, also known as Turret 52A, is one of the best-preserved watchtowers along the western section of Hadrian's Wall. Built around 122 AD on the orders of Emperor Hadrian, this tower was part of an ingenious network: two turrets stood between each milecastle, manned by a handful of soldiers who guarded the boundary. The tower is built of stone, even though the wall here was originally turf—a rare example of early Roman engineering. You'll find an impressive section of wall reaching 1.75 meters high at the tower itself. The site offers panoramic views of the southern landscape, while the northern terrain is higher—a strategic yet surprising choice.

Indeed, a lovely place to relax. Very hospitable and helpful staff. I can only recommend this place.

This impressive Augustinian priory, founded around 1169, is just a stone's throw from Hadrian's Wall. Its ruins tell stories of kings, wars, and pilgrims. King Edward I stayed here in 1306 during his final campaign against the Scots, and Robert the Bruce later attacked the monastery. The church ruins still stand tall, with a dramatic triple-arched structure. Built partly with stones from Hadrian's Wall, they include Roman inscriptions. Inside, you'll find the Lanercost Cross (1214) and the Lanercost Dossal, a work of art designed by William Morris.

The northernmost border of the Roman Empire in the British Isles was secured against the Celtic tribes not subjugated by Rome by a massive structure: Hadrian's Wall, built in the 120s. An episode of the television series "Treasures of the Roman Empire" on German television is dedicated to this 117-kilometer-long border fortification. The film (available only in German) can be accessed in the ZDF media library via the following link =>> https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/schaetze-des-roemischen-reichs--der-hadrianswall-100.html

The food here is amazing. I've told all my friends. Super welcoming, brilliant food and lovely place to spend time. Just what I needed before the climbs ahead.

Lovely little stop and so much to offer. Didn't really need anything, but want to support places like this so stopped for ice cream and drinks .
