Stretching for 73 miles from sea to sea, Hadrian’s Wall is the best-preserved frontier of the Roman Empire. Milecastles, barracks ramparts and forts punctuate a stunning landscape. Start your trail at nearby Brampton, about 16 miles from Gretna Green. It will show you a section of the wall built by the Romans complete with turrets. About 10 miles further away you could explore Birdoswald Roman Fort: see for yourself the longest continuous remaining stretch of Hadrian’s Wall together with its extensive remains of the Roman Fort.
