Housesteads Roman Fort To Sycamore Gap,Monday 7th August 2023.

A visit today to the amazing Roman fort at Housesteads in Northumberland saw us enjoying the ruins and history of this amazing area which was part of the Roman occupation of this area and Britain and built in AD 124.

The famous wall began construction 2 years earlier in AD 122 and today we walked a 2.5 mile section up to the famous Sycamore Gap and back.

The scenery along here is surprisingly very nice and i was a bit taken aback by it,with the rolling hills and loughs dotted here and there making for a lovely landscape.

It was great to actually walk on a section of the wall and amazing to think that it was built almost 2000 years earlier.

Only one notable bird was seen,a Crossbill as it flew overhead calling.

The following are my favourite photos from our day.
