Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian’s Wall was built over a period of six years, starting in AD 122. The Wall marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. As well as serving a military function, it was probably used to control immigration and commerce. Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail runs a distance of approximately 120 km from Bowness-on-Solway in the west to Wallsend at its eastern end. The pictures here are ordered from Bowness to Wallsend, although most often walkers go in the opposite direction.
