Glorious, Evocative, Well-Maintained History
Housesteads Roman Fort - Hadrian's Wall的点评
点评:Easily accessible on the magical AD122 bus from Hexham, or by car, the Housesteads Fort - precariously situated on he side of a wind-buffeted hill with staggering views over Northumberland (and once upon a time Scotland) is exquisitely maintained by English Heritage.
I was lucky to arrive bang on the start of an 11am guided tour (included in the price) which gave over an hour of priceless insight into what’s visible, what isn’t, and why it’s all there.
Top spot is the remnants of the fort’s toilets, but there’s plenty of other history to soak in, from the tiny barracks to Hadrian’s Wall itself, which forms the back fortification of the fort.
If you like history - and let’s face it, you’re here… - then this is an absolute must-visit. Enjoy!
翻译:从赫克瑟姆出发,乘坐神奇的AD122路公交车即可轻松抵达豪斯泰兹堡,或驾车前往。这座城堡坐落在风雨肆虐的山坡上,坐拥诺森伯兰郡(以及昔日的苏格兰)的壮丽景色,由英国遗产委员会精心维护。
我很幸运,恰逢上午11点导览游(包含在价格中)的开始,这趟超过一个小时的旅程让我深入了解了哪些景点可见,哪些景点不可见,以及它们存在的原因。
最值得一看的是城堡厕所的遗迹,但从狭小的营房到构成城堡后方防御工事的哈德良长城,这里还有很多其他的历史遗迹值得细细品味。
如果您喜欢历史——说实话,您已经来了……——那么这里绝对是必游之地。尽情享受吧!
