  2. 2. The vallum and a British settlement betwee

    There is a stretch of Hadrian's Wall that everybody has seen in photographs: the Wall riding the crest of the Whin Sill like a stone ribbon, plunging into dips and climbing again, with a long, dark lake, Crag Lough, beneath the cliffs. This is it, near Steel Rigg and Once Brewed, and the site on the label, the vallum and the remains of a native British settlement, lies just to the south in the shadow of the crags. It is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage site, and it is a reminder that people lived here long before the Romans and kept living here while the soldiers watched over them.

  3. 3. Hadrian's Wall and vallum between the fiel

    East of Carlisle, near the market town of Brampton, Hadrian's Wall crosses a landscape of rolling farmland, hedges and woods along the valley of the River Irthing. Here the wall and its vallum, the great earthwork ditch that ran behind it on the southern side, cross fields where the stone has mostly been robbed for farm buildings, but the earthworks remain clearly visible as long ridges and hollows in the grass.

  4. 4. Hadrian's Wall vallum between the boundari

    Carlisle has been a frontier city for nearly two thousand years, and the vallum that runs across its northern edge is part of the reason. North of the River Eden, in the suburb of Stanwix, stood the largest fort on the whole of Hadrian's Wall, home to a cavalry regiment a thousand strong. The fort lies under the streets and the churchyard now, but the line of the Wall and its rear earthwork, the vallum, can be traced across the fields and gardens to the west, and walkers on the national trail follow it out of the city towards the Solway.
