Hadrian's Wall - To Keep 'The Empire Intact'

Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain, begun in AD 122 during the rule of emperor Hadrian. It stretched from west to east for 80 Roman miles (about 75 miles) in the northern part of England to protect from the invasions from the north.

A significant portion of the wall still exists and can be followed on foot along the Hadrian's Wall Path. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England and was made UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
