The Hadrian’s Wall

In my last trip to the United Kingdom, I went from England to Scotland by car through the M-6 and A-74 roads. The former frontier of the Roman Empire is just in the border between England and Scotland.

This frontier marked physically the frontier of the Empire in the Roman province of Britannia and it was known as the Hadrian’s Wall, the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire. Nowadays, it is possible to visit some ruins. The wall is entirely in England and south of the border with Scotland by some miles (15-70 mi). Although there are signs to the Wall, we took our time because the access has to be made through country roads. Actually, you really are in the middle of the countryside…

As I said before, there are only some pieces or debris of the old Wall so, you can go to several places along the border to visit them. Anyway, it is an interesting visit from the cultural point of view…
