Hare Hill is the tallest surviving section of Hadrian's wall at about 3m high. It may well have survived as this section of the wall was built against in medieval times.

If you walk along Hadrian's Wall, coming from the west this is the first site with remains of the wall.

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 =>> zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/schaetze-des-roemischen-reichs--der-hadrianswall-100.html
