HADRIAN's WALL

As usual wherever I go my friends the Romans have been there already even in the UK and they left a lot of traces ! One of them is Hadrian's Wall.

Hadrian was born on January 24, 76 A.D. He died on July 10, 138, having been emperor since 117. He was known for his many building projects,

Hadrian's Wall Country stretches across the north of England from the west Cumbrian Roman coastal defences. Hadrian's Wall was built, beginning in 122, and was 117.5 km (73.0 mi) long to keep Roman Britain safe from hostile attacks from the Picts. The Picts were a group of Late Iron Age and Early Medieval Celtic people living in ancient eastern and northern Scotland. Hadrian's wall  was the northernmost boundary of the Roman empire until early in the fifth century.

Today many of the stones have been carted away and recycled into other buildings, but the wall is still there for people to explore and walk along.

We didn't walk along, the bus stopped for half an hour to allow us taking pictures and we just had an overview of the outstanding beautiful landscape.

 Now that we know we can always come back here later.





a little blown away by the wind ! Nevertheless the sun was shining !









A last glance back and we continued our tour.
