30 min Intrarea nu este inclusă
A beautiful market town that Mary Queen of Scots famously visited. Optional visit to the Abbey.
Carter Bar
10 min
Continuing south we make a stop at the scenic Carter Bar on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. This crossing point between Scotland and England runs close to the ancient Roman road and has formed the border between the two countries for the past 700 years.
Steel Rigg
45 min
Hadrian’s Wall - The wildest and most northerly frontier of the ancient Roman Empire.
We follow the road that takes us along the south side of the wall, stopping at Steel Rigg. You have time to walk beside the wall and experience the isolation that Roman foot soldiers would have experienced as they guarded their empire from the ‘barbarians’ to the north.
Vindolanda
1 h 30 min Intrarea inclusă
Vindolanda is one of Europe's most important Roman archaeological sites. Vindolanda means white lawns or white fields. We know that the Roman name for the fort was Vindolanda because of an altar set up by the civilians at Vindolanda to the god Vulcan which was found during drainage works in 1914. The altar is on display in the museum. The name Vindolanda has also been discovered on some of the writing tablets. (closed in January).
Moffat
25 min
You'll have a short break in the Victorian spa town of Moffat, which attracted visitors in the 18th and 19th centuries seeking the health benefits of its mineral springs. The town is also famous for Moffat toffee, known for its unique buttery flavor and chewy texture.
From Moffat, you'll travel north, past the Pentland Hills Regional Park on your way back to Edinburgh
