Well, today we drove and we drove then we walked and walked. Finally we got to a wall, well it wasn’t just any wall it was Hadrian’s wall! This is a wall that the Romans built 2000 years ago to keep the Scottish out! This wall was not very successful. It was amazing to see such an old and historical wall! After we arrived at Lakes District and checked in we walked Down the street for dinner. We went to an Italian restaurant which was very nice. After we went for what mum told us would be a stroll but ended up being a 2 hour walk! We went the long way down to Lake Windermere. It started raining on the way back but it was still worth it for the scenery.
Here is an old gateway at the Lanercost Priory on the way to the the wall. The Prior dates back to the C13th.
A longer stretch of Hadrian’s Wall.
Stone fences are everywhere.
Lake Windermere taken when we went on our evening walk.
