Last time we visited Hadrian's Wall was a whole quarter century ago: nothing compared to the near 1900 years since its construction was started!
 |
| The wall marked the northern limit of the Roman Empire; its purpose is still being discussed today. |
 |
| 1992, when Tine was still taller than the kids! |
 |
| We stopped in the Hadrian Hotel in a village called Wall, now there's a coincidence! |
 |
| A short distance away we found a small section of the wall and the remains of Brunton Turret |
 |
| Vindolanda is possibly one of the most famous forts, here in all its glory (model form)... |
 |
| ...and how it looks today. |
 |
| Water channels... |
 |
| ...and a 12 to 14 seater toilet block! Rather you than me. |
 |
| Ah, the tavern. Sadly no ale today though. |
 |
| Some ancient Briton here to claim his heritage |
