Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian's Wall in England, was the northern limit of the Roman empire, built as a defensive fortification in 122 AD during the reign of the emperor Hadrian. This stone wall with milecastles, forts and ditches ran across the north of England from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea in the east, to the Solway Firth in the west. Sections of the wall still stand and can be followed on foot along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
