Whether you are a newcomer to the area or a frequent visitor, this book is the perfect companion for your exploration of Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall.

Hadrian's Wall, once the northern boundary of the Roman Empire, was constructed to intimidate the barbaric tribes of hostile local natives. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest and most significant Roman site in Britain. This book will guide you through the wonders of Hadrian's Wall Country, from Tynemouth to the Solway Firth.

You will discover the Roman way of bathing, where they used to spend a penny, the mysterious visit of aliens in a small rural town, the resting place of King Arthur until his country needs him, and whether Robin Hood really took a wrong turn on his journey from Dover to Sherwood Forest.

Furthermore, you will learn about the enigmatic character of Hadrian, whether he was a great emperor or a ruthless tyrant, the state-owned pubs in Carlisle, the location of the Centre of Britain, and the possibility of hidden treasure at the bottom of a deep, dark lake.

Written by someone with extensive knowledge of the region, this book will not only help you discover the delights of Hadrian's Wall Country but also introduce you to some local dialects along the way.
