We had a walking holiday along the National Trail that follows Hadrian’s Wall, stopping off at B&BS along the way, with 2 nights at Vallum Lodge at Twice Brewed to gives us more time to look around Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum.

It was truly stunning with fair weather, excellent waymarking and easy... more

Even if you are not a history buff, take the time to see this wall if you are in your own car - purhaps you can find a tour if you do not have a car. It is easy to imagine the wall 20+ feet tall. Take the time to locate Sycamore Gap on the wall for the scene from... more
