If you really want to make an idea of what life was like when the Romans were around, come to Hadrian’s Wall. This amazing skill of engineering was built following a visiting by Roman Emperor Adrian in 122 AD. It is 80 Roman miles long, 8 – 10 feet wide and 15 feet high. If you think that was an achievement, it was not all – no, in addition to the wall, the Romans built a system of small forts, called “milecastles”, which housed garrisons of up to 60 men and were placed on every Roman mile along its entire length.

Sixteen larger forts holding from 500 to 1000 troops were built into the wall too, and the best – known, Housesteads, is now a magnificent open air museum which can show you what life was like for the soldiers who guarded the empire against barbarian raids from the north. You may be surprised to find it was not as  cruel a fate as you imagined – no, the soldiers had underground heater in their sleeping quarters and public hot baths! Come and let your imagination take you back to those distant times in an area tourists have been coming to since the 2^nd and 3^rd centuries. Let’s go back to thousand years! For an unforgettable experience come to Hadrian’s Wall!
