  • 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.

  • Yews in Cumbria Graham Wilkinson 1996/7
    Yews in Cumbria Graham Wilkinson 1996/7 Borrowdale Yews. (GR: 235125 sheet 89) 29/10/1997 A. Female. 22' 4" at 3', 23' 7" at base, 21' 6" at 4'. A splendid, huge, gnarled and obviously ancient D tree. Hollow from base to crown, branching N 200' properly from 10-12 feet, the larger branch also hollow. A lower branch on s side is also hollowing. stile B. Female. 14' 10" at 3' and base, 16' 4" at 4'. An old tree with marked hollowing. Branching at 7', A 15' C beck with s branch grounding. 45' C. Female. 12' 11" at 3', 14' 3" at base, 12' at 4'. R. Derwent An impressive, gnarled old tree, the east trunk B having fallen away, it remains, hollow and dead. The measure then, does not do justice to the tree, the dead trunk being at least of equal girth to the living one. A measure taken when intact would have been similar to that of tree A. (Which would still be the most impressive of the three.) Hollowing in the remaining trunk but to a lesser extent than its companion trees. D. Female. 10' 9" at base. A gnarled, mature tree, branching from the base, one branch hanging over the river. No hollowing. Notes: Wordsworth mentioned the Borrowdale Yews in a poem: "Those fraternal four of Borrowdale, Joined in one solemn and capacious grove; Huge trunks! and each particular trunk a growth of intertwisted fibres serpentine Up-coiling and inveterately convolved... To lie, and listen to the mountain flood Murmuring from Glaramara's inmost caves." There is some confusion as to which trees he was refering to.
