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!

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.

Hadrian's Wall was a 117 km long defensive wall built from 122 AD under Emperor Hadrian as the northwestern border of the Roman Empire. The wall ran from the Tyne to the Solway Firth, its central section following the natural ridge of the Whin Sill, a hard dolerite geological formation. This location offered Roman troops a tactical advantage: high ground with wide visibility and natural defenses. The wall served to control movement, delay incursions, and demonstrate Roman power. Here, next to Birdoswald Fort, you'll find the longest remaining section of the historic wall.

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.
