Around Carlisle

 In roman times, around AD 122, the northern border of England was in Carlisle, with Hadrian's Wall. The wall - a literal wall - stretched 73 miles from Bowness-on-Solway to South Shields, or from Carlisle to Newcastle upon Tyne. 

In Carlisle, there are still many remains of the wall, as well as various monuments to the wall, a path along the old route, and a number of other walking paths. These little monuments are a depiction of the location and spacing of the towers along the wall. 

We did a lot of walking around town.
