Housesteads Roman Fort

All quiet along the northern frontier.
All quiet along the northern frontier.
The granary.

The floor was raised on posts to allow air to circulate and for dogs to be let loose to keep down rats.
Hadrian's Wall is a superb Roman Coast-to-Coast walk. Stretching from the mouth of the Tyne in the east to the Solway Firth in the west, the Hadrian's Wall path follows the greatest relic from the Roman occupation of Britain which lasted 400 years. During a walk along the Wall you will pass the sites or remains of the 16 Wall Forts, plus numerous milecastles and turrets, plus original and partly restored sections of Hadrian's Wall itself. The wall can be walked in either direction.
Atmospheric location on the northern frontier of the empire.

There is a 15 minute walk uphill to the fort entrance, Then a walk upwards through the ruins to each the summit & see the remains of Hadrian's Wall. Not for the fainthearted or infirm to try to reach. A nice museum as you head up to the fort & a 9 minute video to watch about how the fort came about & life inside.
