Hadrian's Wall

This picture was taken today on the site of Hadrian's Wall, which  stretched across the north of England between Wallsend on  the River Tyne in the east, to Solway Firth in the West. It was  the most heavily fortified border in the Roman Empire. Several, denuded,  sections of the wall remain and it was declared a World heritage site in 1987
