We also explore Hadrian’s Wall Country and visit a Roman Fort that has stood the test of time, as well as exploring the historic city of Durham.

Walk along the most famous wall in Britain! Named in honour of the emperor who built it, Hadrian’s Wall is a 73-mile long wall built between 122 - 128 AD and the fact that much of it still stands today is a testament to Roman engineering.
We explore English Heritage’s Chesters Roman Fort, the most complete Roman cavalry fort in Britain.
