North East England- Hadrian's Wall

If you enjoy countryside views, relaxing walks; why not leave your car behind, and come to this one of the World Heritage Sites - Hadrian's Wall.

I know history is boring, but Hadrian's Wall was constructed by the order of Emperor Hadrian (Obviously! :p). It is built to "separate the Romans from the Barbarians". Hadrian's Wall is relatively small scale if you compare it with the Great Wall of China. However with the nice sceneries surrounding it, Hadrian's Wall indeed is a good choice to have some walks, away from city busy life.





We took a bus from Newcastle to Hexham, and the B&B owner picked us up from there. It would be a bit of hassle to go there by public transports. The B&B is very lovely, traditional country house, with great warmth feel.





It was freezing (January is very cold, and I wonder why that time we chose to go to Hadrian's Wall!!!) with the wind when we walked along the wall. Remember to put more clothes on!!





We took the opportunity to have a short city tour of Hexham while waiting for the bus to go back to Newcastle. Hexham Abbey is one of the tourist spots in the city centre that we went. Spending an afternoon in Hexham after Hadrian's Wall walk in Hexham is definately a great idea.
