Once a famed frontier of the Roman Empire, Hadrian's Wall is a stunning feat of ancient engineering. Stretching across miles and miles, this wall ran coast to coast from Segedunum at Wallsend on the East Coast through Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Built during the incumbency of Emperor Hadrian, it is as if this wall slithers through the many velvety green terrains of England, charting out stirring chapters of history on its way. Perhaps the crown jewel of the wall were its many well-preserved forts. The wall is dotted by significant Roman relics like reconstructed military dwellings in Arbeia, the magnanimous boar emblem, the Walltown Turret in Greenhead, the Poltross Burn in Milecastle, and the Birdoswald Roman Fort in Cumbria, which is fantastically preserved. In true Roman fashion, life was incomplete without a bath complex, and the one at Ravenglass is the tallest structure overlooking the ocean where weary soldiers once refreshed themselves after a long day.
