Aesica or Great Chesters Roman Fort, Hadrian’s Wall, Haltwhistle, Northumberland, 30.11.19.

This fort is the ‘secret’ site of Hadrian’s Wall; far fewer tourists make it this way and as a result the Roman fort is far more evocative. Many walls remain and few farms can boast a Roman strongroom with arched roof and a temple with a standing altar.
