All quiet along the northern frontier.

The granary. The floor was raised on posts to allow air to circulate and for dogs to be let loose to keep down rats.
Hadrian's Wall is a superb Roman Coast-to-Coast walk. Stretching from the mouth of the Tyne in the east to the Solway Firth in the west, the Hadrian's Wall path follows the greatest relic from the Roman occupation of Britain which lasted 400 years. During a walk along the Wall you will pass the sites or remains of the 16 Wall Forts, plus numerous milecastles and turrets, plus original and partly restored sections of Hadrian's Wall itself. The wall can be walked in either direction.
Atmospheric location on the northern frontier of the empire.

Do this after other forts and walls if trying to do several.  Or if you could only fit one in then only do this one

4/5 - Good

Make sure you get there in time, and dont part in the lot before going on a walk; they may close the gates at 5pm; Im not certain but didnt want to risk it.
