Hadrian’s Wall is well worth a visit. I am glad you enjoyed the post

Lots of Roman stones were reclaimed and used in other buildings. Pillars were used for font plinths and even gateposts.

I am fairly sure that they wouldn’t have been too keen on the climate!!

Yes they are continually exploring this site and also expanding the area of exploration. It is fascinating. It is a long time since I have been to Chedworth it is time I went back for another visit.

A wonderful interesting post with some great photos. I so enjoyed learning all about the history. We’ve been to a few Roman forts and remains of houses but never to Hadrian’s wall area – hopefully one day

Such a huge site!
Where did all the stones and bricks go?
Local church?
Not bad, people actually knew how to “upcycle” building materials back then. Ha!

It’s a fascinating place; the history of the area is incredible. I wonder what the Romans who were posted to northern England thought of their posting?

All these Roman sites blow me away. The culture they had in early times. I googled some more on the subject and saw some more pictures… amazing. I wonder how the ‘energy’ is there. Great pictures and are they still exploring the site like they do at the Roman Village at Chedworth?

I tried not to clamber over anything, but I did a lot of exploring
