Day 55 - Hexham (England) - Hey! Hadrian's wall!

QUESTION. WHAT IS 120 KM LONG AND SPANS THE NORTH OF ENGLAND? Give up, Hadrian's wall! An ancient Roman fortification... and a lot of it is still standing. It has a walking path along the length of it (some of it on the actual wall) and given it is 2000 years old is an engineering marvel! We visited a section called Homestead Fort where you can see the footings of a large fort that was once part of the wall. Then Susan and Ian drove down further to allow Yen and myself to walk for a couple of hours along the wall. I've said it before but I'll say it again "simply stunning!". The hills are rolling (which isn't so good after you've climbed your fourth one) and the sheep and cattle are roaming in the fields beside you. Every couple of hundred metres I found myself tapping the wall to prove that it was real (it transports you back to the days of the Roman's). And as an added bonus, we came across the section of wall and tree as seen in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves"! Definitely something we'd like to come back and walk all the way along if we ever get a few weeks.
LESSON FOR THE DAY: They don't build them like they used to!
