20의 Stapleton가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

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.

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.

Information about this magnificent long-distance hiking trail—along this border fortification dating back to Roman times (the 120s AD) and commissioned by Emperor Hadrian—is, of course, no longer confined to printed maps or books. Hikers who would like to gather information online in advance should visit the official website, which is entitled: "Follow in the footsteps of Romans and trek alongside an ancient monument on a coast-to-coast walk across northern England."

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. The film (available only in German) can be accessed in the ZDF media library via the following link =>> https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfinfo-doku/schaetze-des-roemischen-reichs--der-hadrianswall-100.html
