We rented a car, and drove up from Newcastle. (Train from London to Newcastle.)

Well worth the trip. The “wall” itself was only the connection between distinct Roman camps and administrative centers at intervals behind the wall. Every camp and “fort” was connected by the road behind the wall, and those roads are still used as the location for today’s paved two-lane roads.

It worked, but like the much longer “wall” in China, it had to be manned, had to be defended. It was not just a single passive barrier magically protected the country behind it.

I'm jealous. My ancestors were from the Scottish borders. I'd really love to visit one day.

There is a town called Walls End in England along the borders, and according to my guidebook a remaining few stones are in the park there as it is where the wall ends. While driving, we asked a few locals where Walls End Park was, they didn’t know that was how the town got its name, or exactly where in the park this piece of the wall might be. We found it...just a few stones left of it. There are large parts of the wall still intact marking the border between Scotland and England, built by Roman Empire Hadrian who vanquished England but couldn’t quite get a handle on them varmint Scots, so he built the wall. I’m a naturalized American (legally, too) but have dual nationality as a Scot, too. Shucks, I can never be President coz’ I’m a dual national.
