So #RomanRoadsFriday is being revived. Here’s a shot of the #Stanegate Road. Still in use, runs E-W, and it predates #HadriansWall. The Wall is on the ridge across the loch. Photo taken from the Stanegate.
@hadleywrites @RomanRoadsRA I love the #Stanegate. Much of it is still road but fairly quiet and you don’t really take your life in your hands walking along it. #RomanRoads
#RomanWallWednesday: the Roman road #Stanegate where it passes through the fort and town (vicus) of #Vindolanda south of #HadriansWall. @VindolandaTrust #HadriansWall1900
