Description: This image is of a section of Hadrian's Wall, looking east, near Once Brewed, Northumberland. It is this section where the wall reaches its highest elevation, at about 1100'. As an aside, this is quite close to where the ill-fated Sycamore Gap tree was felled a few years ago. The countryside around the area is spectacular, with its rolling hills and a much varied rural landscape. The escarpment in the distance would have acted as part of the defences in front of the wall. Alas, there's no part of the wall that remains fully intact, much of it was pillaged for its stone. However, the original line of the wall is largely still evident along its 73 mile (117 km) length (coast to coast) Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
