From Durham by car north, to Newcastle, compared to Durham Village, Newcastle is a big city, at Durham Railway Station, I also saw several students who went to Newcastle to eat, the train arrived in about ten minutes. Here I actually saw the wall, the Great Wall of Hadrian, in fact, this is the northernmost border of the Roman Empire's British province, and there is a similar work with China's wall, which is to defend against the northern invasion. Along the Tyne River from west to east is the entrance to the sea. The King of England built castles, made of wooden spires and earthen exterior walls. The new castle is the source of Newcastle's name.

Tickets: 7 pounds for adults and 4 pounds for children. A very small museum, but with a sign of world heritage site , maybe that's the reason for the high price. First of all, there is a short film of 3D for ten minutes, which introduces the historical causes of Hadrian''s wall; There is also a two-minute short film about the composition of the Roman Empire's army. There are very few physical objects, and the historical objects are some arrow clusters, and the replica objects are armor and bow shields. There is a game to play. Overall, the volume is very small, there are few things, and the text picture exhibition is biased.

From Hexham to Hadrian, you can take a special tourist bus to reach everywhere, which is adjusted according to the seasonal operation time, but the buses are extremely punctual. The first stop is going to a place called Chesters Roman Fort. It was a small Roman fortress with a first-level soldiers in a battalion company. We arrived at Chesters Roman Fort in 15 minutes by car. Here is a typical European pastoral scenery. The fields just harvested have not had time to turn over the soil. A group of larks, stewed chickens and crow pack the grains left in the field. From the field, walk along Highway A6079 for 2 minutes and enter the forest area, and then enter the scenic area along the wood plank road in the forest area. Suddenly open, a group of remnants across the green meadow, one by one broken wall interspersed between them. This is a north-facing fortress, the focus of defense is on the east and north side, we enter from the south gate site of the fortress, the whole fortress is rectangular, the four doors are two-door holes with towers on both sides, the city of Hadrian's Great Wall runs through the whole fortress, From the north gate and the south gate each led a main road to the Great Wall, the south gate main road is next to the barracks, all the barracks' room foundation is still much higher than the ground today, even after nearly 2000 years, each battalion room has a sink, can introduce rainwater into the middle of the camp in the sink, Then the dark gate of the east gate is fed into the river Tyne which flows from the eastern side of the fortress. Close to the city wall there are two groups of large relics, respectively the command post and the ordnance station, the two building foundations are partially preserved, on the stone foundation erected a low stone pillar, the stone pillar is the stone floor of the fortress, the foundation has a flue directly connected to the boiler room, Such a design is equivalent to today's geothermal, the boiler room transports hot steam between the foundation and the floor, and the hot gas flows between the stone pillars, so that even in the cold north of England, the Roman soldiers from Apennines will not feel the cold. There are also wells and small underground granaries as strategic reserves. From the east gate, walk eastwards along the wall and you can see the bathroom on the river Tyne.

The castle is close to the train station and on the way to the centre of Penrith. Although a ruin, it has a well maintained surrounding area within the park. The venue has a children's playground, mini golf course, bowling course and small cafe. Worth a visit, especially for children whose imagination can run around the moat and undoubtedly save their teenage girls! Happy childhood memories!

The Clifford Tower, first built by William the Conqueror, is a wooden fortress, part of the York castle, standing on a hill at the intersection of the Uth and Forth rivers southeast of the Old Town. At that time, the tower and York castle were surrounded by moats, and the tower was connected by a suspension bridge between the castle and the outside by a stone bridge.
