Newcastle, England

On Tuesday we visited Newcastle, England.  We left Newcastle and drove into the beautiful countryside of Northumberland. A stop by the location of a Roman wall built by Hadrian almost  2000 years ago.  In some places the wall is still present.  Then a visit to Chesters Roman Fort, a part of Hadrian's Wall.  Then we drove and stopped for lunch in the historic and picturesque town of Hexham.  Then it was back to Newcastle to see the Seven Bridges.
