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.

The Clifford Tower was built by William the Conqueror to suppress the rebellious North, and was once a Royal Mint, a medieval fortress and a Civil War garrison. One of the worst anti-Semitic massacres of the Middle Ages occurred on the site of the tower in 1190, when the Jewish community in York was trapped by a mob and many Jews chose to commit suicide rather than murder. Today, a new roof terrace offers unparalleled views of York's historic skyline, with its medieval architecture and famous cathedrals. Inside, new sidewalks and staircases open parts of the tower that have been banned for centuries, immersive soundscapes and stories bring to life the tower's turbulent history.

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.

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.
