Awarded the status of a World Heritage Site,
Hadrian's Wall is the best known frontier of
the Roman Empire and the most important Roman
structure in Britain. This tour offers the
ideal opportunity to step back in time to learn
about life in Roman Britain, discover forts,
milecastles, temples and turrets and view rare
Roman writing tablets, leathers, textiles and
pottery. Ample opportunity is available for
photography and short walks and there is a
stop-over at the multi award-winning Vindolanda
Fort and Museum.
The day is complemented by the sublime beauty
of the Border Country and North Pennines, the
magnificent drive across Hartside Summit (one
of the highest roads in the country), the Eden
Valley and the villages of Brampton, Haltwhistle
and Alston, once the highest market town in
England
