Hadrian’s Wall
Given the age and scope of this Roman fortification, it's remarkable that anything has survived. Hadrian's Wall, which was built in 122 AD to mark the borders of the Roman Empire, is still fascinating for its cultural and historical significance. It represents the birth of England as a civilized state as one of the most iconic Roman structures in Britain. Despite the fact that history has brought us a long way since then, Hadrian's Wall is symbolic of the birth of the United Kingdom as we know it today.
Hadrian's Wall, which stretches 73 miles from coast to coast, was constructed to protect the untamed northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Find out what life was like for the people who lived on the outskirts of Roman Britain by exploring the ruins of the forts, towers, turrets, and towns that once guarded the Wall, viewing priceless Roman artifacts, engaging in hands-on activities in museums, and admiring breathtaking views of the rugged terrain.
At more than twenty fascinating locations, including Housesteads Roman Fort, Chesters Roman Fort, Corbridge Roman Town, and Birdoswald Roman Fort, you can today explore the Wall's rich history and its dramatic landscape.
