Trip Diary – April/May 2017 – Day 33 – Hadrian’s Wall & Roman Settlements

Along with the wall, towns, forts, storerooms, and other structures devloped to support the Romans’ mission in Britain (fourth photo).

Following the fall of the Roman Empire, farmers and others began to slowly dismantle sections of the wall to build their own walls to divide their fields.

A Roman Army Museum was created to tell the story.
