Walk along Hadrian's Wall
ENGLAND
Hadrian's Wall
Hadrian's Wall is a former defensive fortification of the Roman province of Britannia, begun in ADÂ 122 in the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. Running from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west of what is now northern England, it was a stone wall with large ditches in front and behind, stretching across the whole width of the island. Soldiers were garrisoned along the line of the wall in large forts, smaller milecastles, and intervening turrets. In addition to the wall's defensive military role, its gates may have been customs posts.
