Hadrian’s Wall

Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was constructed in AD 122 under the orders of Emperor Hadrian and completed four years later. Stretching 73 miles (117 kilometers) from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, this ancient structure marked the northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Britain. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of the wall, which include well-preserved sections and forts, offering a tangible connection to the region’s rich Roman history.
