Hadrians Wall Walking Holidays - An American Perpective
For an entertaining and informative account of a walking holiday on Hadrian’s Wall, its worth looking at this account in the Smithsonian Magazine. It provides plenty of history and gives a good flavour of a walk along Hadrian’s Wall, without getting bogged down in too much detail.
There is good section on Vindolanda – the Roman fort near Twice Brewed, just off Hadrian’s Wall itself. We were at Vindolanda a couple of weeks ago. Digging is still very much ongoing and we were able to watch as the archaeologists unearthed a wall and fragments of a roman bottle.
Vindolanda is the most extensive site along Hadrian’s Wall with its own museum and a recreated mile house and section of the wall. For clients on our Hadrian’s Wall Walking Holidays we recommend a rest day at Twice Brewed to give you time to explore properly.
