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.
Hadrian's Wall is easily walked in the central area, even though you might encounter mud in some parts. Views of the wall are very attractive: the thick wall meandering through a soft landscape of rolling hills, giving the hills a defining line on their top. In a distance, the wall disappears beyond the horizon. Some parts of the wall are truly outstanding. Especially the stretch between Housesteads and Once Brewed is spectacular: Hadrian's wall follows some high cliffs, towering above Crag Lough lake. Here, the combination of the wall and the difficult terrain certainly must have guaranteed to keep the barbarians out. It also drops deep into Sycamore Gap, where a big tree fills the dent in the rocky ridge. Once you are at Steel Rigg, be sure to look back: it gives you great views almost all the way back to Housesteads.
