Ruins

On our way south to the Lake District, we visited some historical ruins. Here's Penrith Castle...



And some older ruins - Hadrian's Wall, built by the Roman emperor on the northern frontier.
It's about 117km long, and there are quite a few sections still intact. This part of the wall included a Roman fortress, the outlines can be clearly seen walking around the field. Archaeological findings are displayed in the English Heritage museum, including forgotten coins, jewellery, and other artefacts.





We finished off our day of travelling by having fish and chips beside the lake in Keswick.
