틴데일 탄 최고의 라이딩 경로

이 성스러운 작은 기념물에는 자전거 타는 사람이 무심코 지나치지 말고 잠시 머물러야 할 몇 가지 이유가 있습니다. 첫째, 교회 건물과 주변 묘지, 그리고 부지에 서 있는 'Bewcastle Cross'가 매우 조화로운 단위를 이룹니다. 둘째, 이 십자가를 보면 역사를 아주 멀리 거슬러 올라가게 되는데, 그 기원 시기는 7세기 또는 8세기로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 셋째, 그리고 가장 중요한(!) 것은 지붕 처마 아래까지 솟아 있고 위로 갈수록 약간 가늘어지는 오벨리스크의 예술적 디자인이 매우 주목할 만하다는 것입니다('Amy'와 'Joe'가 이미 그들의 게시물에서 이것을 설명했습니다). 제 개인적인 결론은, 비록 한때 오벨리스크를 장식했던 실제 십자가는 오래전에 사라졌지만, 여전히 주목할 만한 성스러운 작은 기념물이라는 것입니다!

글쎄요, 오늘 하드리아누스 성벽 하이킹의 거의 끝에 도착했고 약간의 불운을 겪었습니다. 하드리아누스 성벽에서 가장 좋은 로마 요새 중 하나에 도착했는데, 바람이 너무 강해서 우리를 성벽에서 날려버릴 수 있다는 이유로 문을 닫았다고 들었습니다. 다시 방문할 만한 곳입니다.

The war memorial in Rickerby Park, Carlisle, is an impressive tribute to the fallen of the First World War, later expanded to include commemorations for the Second World War and subsequent conflicts. Officially opened on May 25, 1922, by the Earl of Lonsdale, it commemorates the men and women from Cumberland and Westmorland who gave their lives in the Great War. Formal gardens and a monumental entrance were added in 1932–33 by landscape architect Edward Prentice Mawson and city engineer Percy Dalton.

Askerton Castle is a rare example of a fortified medieval manor house, situated in remote north Cumbria, about three miles north of Hadrian's Wall. The original building was constructed around 1290 as an unfortified hall, but in the late 15th century, two battlemented towers—the Dacre Tower and the Dovecot Tower—were added by Thomas, Lord Dacre, as part of a border defense against the notorious Border Reivers. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded with a stable block and additional wings for troop accommodation. A third tower on the northwest corner is believed to have been lost, possibly to fire, but traces of its stonework and staircases are still visible in the walls. The structure contains impressive oak beams, dated between 1494 and 1510, and shows clear stages of architectural evolution—from a simple hall to a military stronghold. Although the castle is not open to the public, it is now part of the Askerton Castle Estate, an organic farm that produces beef, lamb, pork, and poultry. The building is a Grade I listed building, indicating its exceptional historical value.

St Cuthbert Bewcastle Church stands on the foundations of a Roman fort and has roots dating back to the 13th century. Although the current building largely dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, parts of the east chancel are still medieval. The church exudes simplicity and tranquility, with a rectangular plan and a wooden gallery on the west side. Within the church, traces of the Border Reivers' turbulent history can be found, including gravestones bearing names like Armstrong and Routledge.

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.
