Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian's Wall at Birdoswald Roman Fort, August 19, 2021
This was a road-side stop on our way up north to Scotland. The weather wasn't ideal, but the rain held off for a quick walk around the grounds. 
"Outside the Roman Empire..." Construction on this wall to protect the Roman settlement of Britannia began in AD 122.
