The protection that Emperor Hadrian built in Northern England against the barbarians is still very visible and the most prominent, and impressive, reminder of Roman presence in Britain.
The first traces can already be seen in the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne, but to best appreciate Hadrian's Wall you have to go roughly half way between the East and West coast. Names of villages on the way constantly remind the visitor of what he is here to see: Wallsend, Heddon-on-the-Wall, and Walltown are just a few examples. Clouds were getting darker and darker as I approached Housesteads; when we arrived, rain had started to fall. It gave a dramatic expression to the sky and an ominous ceiling to the open-air theatre I was about to visit. After seeing Housesteads, or Vercovicium, I walked the wall, first eastwards, then returning and going to the west, towards Sycamore Gap.
