Hadrian’s Wall, England

Stretching from coast to coast across northern England, Hadrian’s Wall offers plenty of chances for visitors to get up close to the UK’S ancient history. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in the second century under Emperor Hadrian and was designed to defend the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire. There are forts, towers, turrets and towns all along the wall, along with museums which display Roman artefacts and give visitors the chance to see what life was like for men, women and children living at the edge of Roman Britain. In all there are twenty specific sites where you can interact with the wall, but travellers wanting to experience more can hike different portions (or all of it). Some of the best spots to visit Hadrian’s

Wall are Housesteads, the most complete Roman fort in Britain, and Corbridge, which was a bustling town and supply base for Roman soldiers and civilians.
