On our way up after leaving Bob and Marge's in Birmingham, we stopped at Hadrian's Wall by Carlisle, England. This is the Roman Wall that Emporer Hadrian had built to signify the outermost edges that the Roman Empire reached. (as well as keep those wild Scots from attacking them) It was very neat. There were castles (guard stations built for 40-100 guards) built about 1 mile apart all the way down the wall. The wall now rests almost on the modern day border between Scotland and England.
