To demonstrate the power and strength of the Roman Empire, Emperor Hadrian came up with the idea of building a wall to deter attacks on his Roman territory, Britannia. At the time - and still today - building a wall 73 miles (118 kilometers) long, 5 meters (16 feet) high and 3 meters (10 feet) wide was an extraordinary undertaking. In the year 122, approximately 15,000 soldiers were enlisted to begin construction of this project, which included forts, turrets, bridges, milestone castles and the connecting wall.
Today, Hadrian's Wall is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend, the 84-mile (135-kilometer) Hadrian's Wall Trail winds through the wild and scenic English countryside and offers an opportunity to learn more about these historic sites.
