Da sapere su questa attività

Incontrerai il tuo piccolo gruppo nel centro di Edimburgo e, a bordo di un confortevole minibus, percorrerai Dere Street, una strada romana che collegava i porti dell'Inghilterra meridionale con gli insediamenti romani nella regione centrale della Scozia. Dopo un'ora di viaggio raggiungerai la prima destinazione, la storica città di Jedburgh, dove, camminando lungo strette stradine, vedrai l'Abbazia agostiniana di Jedburgh (XII secolo).

Quindi proseguirai per Carter Bar, luogo di transito tra la Scozia e l'Inghilterra. Scatta qualche foto veloce sul confine, quindi continua attraverso il magnifico paesaggio del Northumberland National Park fino a Steel Rigg, dove si possono vedere ampie sezioni del Vallo di Adriano. Costruito nel II secolo d.C. durante il regno dell'imperatore Adriano, il Vallo è il più grande monumento romano in Gran Bretagna e ora è anche un sito del Patrimonio Mondiale dell'UNESCO. Cammina lungo il muro da cui i soldati romani sorvegliavano i confini dell'impero migliaia di anni fa.

Successivamente ti dirigerai a ovest verso il villaggio di Lanercost, la porta occidentale del Vallo di Adriano, sede di numerose battaglie durante le secolari guerre anglo-scozzesi. Ti fermerai per pranzo in un ristorante locale (non incluso) per goderti l'atmosfera dell'incantevole cittadina.

Dopo pranzo, raggiungerai la vicina Birdoswald, una delle 16 fortezze costruite lungo il Vallo di Adriano, particolarmente ben conservata, nonché il tratto continuo più lungo rimasto del muro. Mentre visiti le vaste rovine, la guida ti spiegherà le caratteristiche delle antiche fortificazioni romane, compresi i risultati di alcuni scavi recenti.

Terminata la visita a Birdoswald, salirai di nuovo sul minibus per il viaggio di ritorno a Edimburgo, con una sosta nella città termale vittoriana di Moffat, prima di attraversare le Southern Uplands e il confine per raggiungere la capitale scozzese.

The knowledge of the tour guide was impressive to say the least. One thing not appreciated is the stated opinion, by the tour guide, regarding American politics. In this case the opinion was visceral dislike to hatred when it came to the office of the president. That office is to be respected, period. Then there is the fact that the current President was elected by a significant margin. Lastly one needs to ask why this President was elected. This President was elected because the Congress has done NOTHING to address the major issues over the last decades, leaving the public, the voter, in a position to voice their dismay. That was clearly what occurred. Study the "why" and you will see the result, gross incompetence by the Congress, which elected a non-politician. semper Fi.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Robbie was a great host. He was also very sweet and accommodating, he helped me access the stops by pulling closer without even being asked which was very ( I have some mobility issues due to an injury ) The tour was fun and informative and full of nice little surprises.. We loved that Robbie had music picked out for us as well. Over all it was a great value and we will look at other tours from Rabbies our next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this trip. Jan was a fantastic guide! He regaled us with Scottish stories and lore during the ride. The ruins of the wall was set amid pastures and farmland and was breath taking! We stopped at charming villages along the way. Before we took off he warned us that if anyone did not appreciate history and ancient ruins, then you probably wouldnt enjoy this. We do love history and ruins and enjoyed every minute!!!

Great educational and entertaining tour of the area south of Edinburgh and the north of England. Richard gave us a great overview of the history of the border areas between Scotland and England, the reivers and how that shaped the character of the people. Jedburgh Abbey was fascinating to visit, and we loved seeing Hadrian's wall and Vindolanda with its archeological treasures. Seeing the countryside and hearing the history and culture at the same time is such a great way to see the countryside.

Walking along Hadrian's Wall and seeing an ancient Roman fort ruin is chance of a lifetime. Other sites worth visiting as well. Great tour.

I could not praise our tour guide Sean more! Sean was a history teaching before switching to tours and let me tell you that made ALL the difference on this tour with Rabbie's. You could tell how much Sean loved Scottish and English history. He knew so much about the time period the wall was build and clearly wanted to share that love with us on his tour. The Mercedes van was really comfy and we had a smaller group. Be prepared to hike around in possibly mud. It was winter for us so we brought lots of layers too as it was quite chilly outside. This was a fun day trip out from Edinburgh. We loved seeing the wall and learning about this time period in Scotland's history. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing the wall.
