Hadrian's Wall Overview

Popularly referred to as the Roman Wall or the Picts’ Wall, this is among the most interesting places to visit in the United Kingdom. It is a symbol of the city’s defenses, rich history, and dramatic landscape and today houses several fascinating sites such as Housesteads Roman Fort, and Corbridge Roman Town among others.

Running almost 73 miles from coast to coast, Hadrian's Wall is one of the most impressive structures in the country and certainly among the most important places to visit in the UK. The wall was constructed in order to guard the north-west frontier of the former Roman Empire and is a marvelous example of the times of Roman Britain. Today you can see what is remaining of the forts, turrets, towers, and towns that were once used to keep watch over the Wall.

You can also witness some rare Roman artifacts in the museums that have been created here along with breathtaking views of the rugged landscape. Take a tour through the most fascinating sites here such as the Housesteads Roman Fort, Corbridge Roman Town, Chesters Roman Fort, and Birdoswald Roman fort. Marvel at the brilliant building and engineering skills of the Romans at one of the most explored frontiers of the empire.
