EP 9 Blenkinsopp Castle to the Mare and Foal - The Grand Tour of Northumberland

Section 9: Blenkinsopp Castle to the Mare and Foal
We begin the trail where we left off last time at Blenkinsopp Castle and start with a ghost story, the white lady of Blenkinsopp.
Crossing the A69 and Newcastle-Carlisle line, we headed into Greenhead and proceeded up to Thirlwall Castle. The site of another Northumbrian legend, the dwarf and the gold table. It is said that the two castles were once connected by a secret tunnel.
From Thirlwall Castle we pick up the Hadrian's Wall trail and followed it first to the Roman Army Museum but sadly it was closed. However, we were still able to see the remains of Carvoran Roman Fort (also known as Magnis Roman Fort). The fort once stationed soldiers from Syria.
Our next stop was King Arthur's Well. Sadly the weather turned for the worst and we were not able to spend time exploring the site. So I am unsure whether the well was the small pond in the gap or near the hill with the beech trees. However, it is the first site we encountered connected to the legend of King Arthur who was supposedly a Roman Briton who fought against the invading Saxons. For more on King Arthur on the wall check out Mark Nicol's video:
From King Arthur's Well we continued along the wall to Aesica Roman Fort at Great Chesters. This fort has more ruins left over than the previous one with stone clearly visible and excellent satellite imagery courtesy of Google Maps. This fort once housed the 6th cohort of Nervians from modern day Belgium. These were later replaced by the 6th cohort of Raetians from modern day Switzerland. And finally, they were replaced with the 2nd cohort of Asturians from modern day Spain.
Once we reached Caw Gap at the Shield on the Wall, we left the wall and followed the road to General Wade's military road (constructed in response to the Jacobite uprising of 1745 to connect Newcastle and Carlisle - making it easier in future to relieve either castle from siege).
On route we passed the Mare and Foal standing stones. The footage I've used is from Midwinter's day 2016. The weather prevented us from visiting the stones as we were cold, wet, and muddy. It was important to get my daughter in the warmth of the car and dried off.

Hadrian's Wall near Greenhead England
This is a section of Hadrian's Wall near Greenhead, England. Roman Emperor Hadrian got tired of battling with the barbarians in the north, and turned his legions into masons (circa 100 AD). This wall marks the northern boundary of Roman Britain. Much like the rest of England, this place is ruled by sheep now.

Hadrian's Wall, Steel Rigg & Vindolanda, Northumbria - 29 April 2012
A 14 mile walk in the shape of a figure of eight from Cawfields Car Park on Hadrian's Wall. The walk initially follows the wall from Milecastle 42 along Cawfield Crags to Caw Gap and then onto Winshield Crags and then Steel Rigg Car Park. From here I continued along the wall on Peel Crags and then past Milecastle 39 to Sycamore Gap. Sycamore Gap being the location seen in Robin Hood; Prince of Thieves where Robin Hood (Kevin Costner) lands in England at the white cliffs of Dover and then in the next scene has travelled well past Nottingham to this location. Good old Hollywood!!! From the Sycamore Gap the wall follows Highfield Crags above Crag Lough and onto Hotbank Crags and then past Milecastle 37 and then Housesteads (Vercovicivm Roman Fort). Here the route turns south heading to West Crindledykes Farm and then turning west to Vindolanda Roman Fort. From Vindolanda the walk returns north towards the wall, briefly following a short section already walked at Milecastle 38 before leaving the wall at Hotbank and starting the return leg viewing the wall from the north back to Cawfield Car Park.

HADRIANS WALL HIKE -GREENHEAD TO BARDON MILL, OCT 09
AN AUTUMN HIKE IN NORTHUMBERLAND
A walk along Hadrian's Wall, Housesteads, Northumberland
SEE MY TRAVEL GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
This is the best preserved part of Hadrian's Wall. Taking the bus from the car park of the Northumbria National Park in Once Brewed, we travelled to Housesteads fort and then walked back along the wall. The views here are quite magnificent, the Roman empire to the south and the barbarians to the north. The engineering feat of the Romans nearly 1,900 years ago can really be appreciated here.
Hadrian's Wall was 117.5 km long, it varied in height depending on what construction materials were available nearby. In this area the wall was around 2.4m high and we can still see where the ditches were located.
Roman Emperor Hadrian came to Britain in 122CE and the wall was no doubt planned before then, maybe even started before then. The wall was a clear indication of Roman power but also an indication that enough was enough and that the Empire was not going to continue growing. Hadrian's father Trajan had extended the Empire with the acquisition of Dacia in modern Romania and Mesopotamia in modern Iraq but Hadrian retreated from these areas. Hadrian followed the principle of Augustus a century earlier that consolidation, not enlargement was the name of the game.
Would it not have been easier for Hadrian simply to have conquered the remainer of Britain rather than build a wall? After all, he knew it was an island. This is a good question, the north had a low population and indeed the Empire did make north briefly later. I am unable to give an answer.
The Wall served more of a statement than a military value. It showed outsiders how strong Rome was and was useful in collecting taxation revenues. Certainly in other parts of the Empire, the 'barbarians' outside were beginning to live like Romans at this time and organise towns, roads etc.
The wall took only six years to finish although no doubt extra work was continually being done. At each of the 80 Roman miles there was a milecastle holding a handful of troops who could be called out if necessary. These milecastles were located within signalling or physical view of each other and so they are not equidistant.
The garrison was made up of auxiliaries, sometimes from far away places. The fortress of Arbeia (not strictly speaking a border fortress) at South Shields was garrisoned by people from Iraq!
Although there were attacks on the wall, on the whole it was peaceful. In 410CE, Rome itself was under attack and Roman troops were pulled out of Britain. The locals, who were Romanised, were told that they needed to take care of their own defence.
The wall lasted long after the Romans went. Most damage was done in the eighteenth century as stone was removed for road and agricultural use. Fortunately the wall was protected from the nineteenth century onwards. Hadrian's Wall was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and in 2005 it became part of the transnational Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site which also includes sites in Germany
