よく保存された城壁部分、近くの土手、小塔、石灰窯があるハレ・ヒルは、ローマ時代の過去への素晴らしい洞察を提供します。アーシング川の渡河点とともに、この地域はローマ時代の活動の中心地であったに違いありません。

これは素晴らしいスナック小屋で、地元のオーナーは信じられないほどフレンドリーでした。家の奥さんがスープを作ってくれ、パンロールと一緒に提供されました。雨風の強い日にはとてもありがたく、彼女ともとても楽しい会話をしました。この場所には、座席、屋根付きのカバー、そしてスナック、電子レンジ料理、飲み物が詰まった小屋があり、すべてきちんと箱詰めされ、価格が付けられています。

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.

Approaching from the west, this is the first remnant of Hadrian's Wall. Mile Castle 53 sits on Hare Hill, overlooking the surrounding landscape. The fort itself is largely ruined, but the outlines of the walls and gates are still visible in the grassland. On Hare Hill, the remains of Hadrian's Wall are at their highest (3m).

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.
