Hadrian's Wall
About Hadrian's Wall
The Hadrian's Wall runs near the Anglo-Scottish border from Carlisle to Newcastle and was originally used as a border fortification system to help guard border traffic and keep out unwanted intruders from Scotland and Ireland. This symbol of the power of the Roman Empire still impresses visitors today. Gain deeper insights into the life of a Centurion with replicated performances and interactive displays in the garrisons and forts, and learn in fascinating visitor centres along the 117 km long wall. In 1987, Hadrian's Wall was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
