Description
Hadrian's wall in Northumberland, England.
Stretching 73 miles (80 Roman miles) across the country from Wallsend in the east to Bowness on the Solway Firth Hadrian’s Wall was built under the orders of Emperor Hadrian in AD122. Taking over 6 years to build, the wall boasted 80 milecastles, 17 larger forts and a defensive earthwork, the Vallum, to the south.
Hadrian’s Wall became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, joining a list of places that are so special they are deemed important to the whole of humanity. Hadrian's Wall leaves a lasting impression on any who visit, including writer George RR Martin who used it as inspiration for his own Wall in the bestselling books and hit TV series, Game of Thrones.
