  • Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria
    Hadrian’s Wall 2-day itinerary In AD122 the Emperor Hadrian commissioned work on a stone barrier to be erected across northern England, stretching 80 miles from the North Sea to the Solway Firth. Reaching up to 6m in height in parts, Hadrian’s Wall was built to keep the northern barbarians out of Roman Britain. Visitors to the Glasgow Commonwealth Games will receive a far warmer welcome as they head south. The nearest part of Hadrian’s Wall is a 2 hour drive down the A74 and then east on the A689/A69 to Birdoswald Roman Fort and a great place to start your Hadrian’s Wall Country holiday. Day 1 Morning: Arrive mid/late morning at Birdoswald (CA8 7DD). Birdoswald Roman Fort is the perfect place for a picturesque family day out or as a base if you want to walk or cycle along Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria. You can explore the extensive remains of the Roman Fort and the longest continuous remaining stretch of this magnificent World Heritage Site can be seen here. Inside, the visitor centre has interesting interactive displays and artefacts telling the story of the 1,000+ soldiers based here, as well as a model of the Wall at its full height. During school holidays, Roman-themed events take place. Check http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/birdoswald-roman-fort- hadrians-wall for details. If you fancy stretching your legs, head east along the Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail to Willowford Bridge, where you’ll see not only a fine stretch of Wall but the remains of two turrets and a bridge which once spanned the River Irthing.
