Cold Fell（標高621m、2,037フィート）は、Tindale Tarnのすぐ南にある、かなり人里離れた湿地の多い山頂です。Hallbankgateからのハイキングに最適で、Brunwath Viewpointも訪れることができます。英国指定のNuttallおよびMarilynであり、カンブリア州と湖水地方の広大な景色を望む人気のハイキングスポットです。

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。

さて、ハドリアヌス帝の長城ハイキングも一日の終わりに近づき、少し不運に見舞われました。ハドリアヌス帝の長城で最高のローマ時代の砦の一つに到着したところ、風が強すぎて私たちを長城から吹き飛ばす可能性があるため閉鎖されていると言われました。また戻ってきたい場所です。

ここは、1307年にスコットランド人に対する遠征中に発熱し、最も恐れられたイングランドの君主の一人が亡くなった場所です。エドワード1世が亡くなった場所であり、象徴的な歴史上の人物である彼を称えて、この小さくて趣のある記念碑が2007年に建てられました。

The Rickerby Park Memorial Bridge: The footbridge in Rickerby Park, Carlisle, was built in 1922 as part of a memorial project for the fallen of the First World War. It spans the River Eden and connects the city center with the park. The bridge is part of a larger ensemble with a cenotaph and other memorials, and was funded by the Carlisle Citizens League.

Carlisle Castle, built in 1092 by William II, is an imposing medieval fortress on the edge of Carlisle city center, near Hadrian's Wall. The castle played a key role in the Anglo-Scottish conflict, withstanding at least seven sieges between 1174 and 1461. In 1568, Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here, and during the Jacobite Rising of 1745, it was the last English fortress to be besieged. Visitors can explore the 12th-century gatehouse, the Tudor gun platform, and the keep with its 15th-century carvings. Also within its walls is Cumbria's Museum of Military Life, which chronicles 300 years of military history.

On a strategic rise above the River Irthing lies Birdoswald Roman Fort (Banna), one of the best-preserved forts along Hadrian's Wall. Built around 122 AD, it housed troops from countries including Dacia (modern-day Romania) and played a key role in defending the northwestern border of the Roman Empire. The fort lies on the longest continuous stretch of Hadrian's Wall still visible. Within the ruins, you'll find the remains of barracks, granaries, gates, and even a unique Roman drill hall. The visitor center offers interactive exhibits and original artifacts, including altars and inscriptions. Birdoswald is an ideal rest stop for cyclists following the Hadrian's Cycleway. The tearoom and the view make it a pleasant stop with historical depth.

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.
