Travel: Hadrian’s Wall is set for influx of visitors; in association with First Choice.(Features)
Birmingham Mail (England) January 24, 2007 A BBC programme being broadcast on Friday is set to inspire Brits to explore the fascinating Roman heritage on their doorstep.
The 50-minute Timewatch documentary on BBC2 looks at the rich and interesting history of Hadrian’s Wall, a World Heritage Site.
The famous monument spans the north of England, from the Irish Sea on the Cumbrian coast to the North Sea on the North East coast. in our site hadrian s wall
Programme presenter and archaeologist Julian Richards visits sites along the wall to uncover questions such as: Who was the Emperor Hadrian? Why did he choose to build a wall across some of the most unforgiving terrain in Europe? And how, in just seven years, did the Romans actually build such an impressive feat of engineering that was 74 miles long, 15 feet high and 10 feet thick?
Throughout his journey, Julian visits a handful of forts and museums along Hadrian’s Wall. Each is a Roman time capsule providing thousands of clues about the life and times of people living on the wall. Excavations at Vindolanda Roman Fort in Northumberland have revealed precious artefacts that can tell us the Romans had designer shoes, hosted birthday parties and enjoyed some of the finer things in life such as perfumes and under floor heating. in our site hadrian s wall
Also at Vindolanda, Julian meets some of the archaeologists working on the site on real excavations that are open to the public.
Vineet Lal, director of branding and communications for Hadrian’s Wall, said: “The Time watch production team admitted that they had only previously scratched the surface where Hadrian’s Wall was concerned.
“They were genuinely surprised by some of the beautiful scenery in Cumbria and North East England and their filming has captured perfectly the landscapes that surround Hadrian’s Wall with some stunning aerial photography.
“The programme also provides a spectacular insight into the people and practices of life on the wall, tracking back over 2,000 years ago and showcasing some of the best examples of Roman heritage in Britain today.
“I’m sure it will inspire viewers to visit Hadrian’s Wall Country and experience this great history first hand.” CAPTION(S):
