The wall varies in thickness as you go along.. this is a farly thin section.. in places its over 3m thick.. not sure why . maybe materials were scarce, or the builders were not so good! its still impessive though....

Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium), also called the Roman Wall, Picts' Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in 122 AD in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire.
A significant portion of the wall still stands and can be followed on foot along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

PH-BQH, a Boeing 777-206ER, on approach to runway 23 at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "Hadrian's Wall" was arriving as KLM691 (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V., operating as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines) from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Last month, the airline celebrated its 101st birthday.
we have the Roman Limes just some kilometres from our home.
but visiting Hadrians wall again means a breathtaking wonderful landscape, an impressive construction between Irish Sea and North Sea, and last but not least a tribute to this roman emperor, who was also a man of love...
we had a sunny, breezy walk again along this 1900year old wall

Hadrian's Wall, Steel Rigg, Northumberland. A really misty morning, with a gorgeous sunrise trying to burn its way through the thick mist.
I watched on TV tonight Walking Hadrian's Wall by Robson Green, and thought I have so beautiful photos of my walk there in 2016, time to share some. Great memories.
How awful we miss such travels now!
(no sky replacement! :)
Geology note:
The Whin Sill or Great Whin Sill is visible here - it is a tabular layer of the igneous rock dolerite in County Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria in the northeast of England.

time goes so fast, it was 3 years ago since I was working on the sill youth hostel close to here, I was there for one year so I often walked this wall most evenings.
Milecastle 39, Hadrians Wall, Northumberland, UK
For the aficionados amongst you I hope you recognise the title from the same Monty Python sketch😁
This was a slightly earlier shot of the same Milecastle in Hadrians Wall as my last post. Took this from a different angle to get a different foreground. The sun being higher meant the Milecastle was illuminated. Not the most comfortable of perches for me to get this composition and was continually worried my camera bag was going to go rolling down the slope! Luckily it didnt!

The Hadrian's Gate or Üçkapılar is a triumphal arch located in Antalya, Turkey, which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in the year 130. It is the only remaining entrance gate in the walls that surround the city and harbor.

Hadrian's Wall was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in AD 122 in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, immediately north of which were the lands of the northern Ancient Britons, including the Picts.
