Stapleton 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

잘 보존된 성벽 구간과 인근 제방, 망루, 석회 가마가 있는 Hare Hill은 로마 시대의 과거에 대한 훌륭한 통찰력을 제공합니다. River Irthing을 건너는 것과 함께 이 지역은 로마 활동의 진정한 중심지였을 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.

Along Lanercost Road near Banks in Cumbria, you'll find the well-preserved remains of Leahill Turret (51B), a Roman watchtower built around 122 AD as part of Hadrian's Wall. The tower was fully excavated and consolidated in 1958 and is still visible today to a height of approximately one meter. Leahill Turret served as a staging post between Milecastles 51 and 52, providing Roman soldiers with a strategic vantage point over the northern border region. Inside, traces of a raised platform against the north wall and a later shelter structure against the south wall are visible, suggesting reuse in the 4th century.

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.

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.
