Hadrian's Wall Hike, Day 1, Part 3-July 26

This is St. Oswald's Church. It was built to commemorate Angle King Oswald's 7th century Battle of Heavenfield victory over a pagan Celtic army.

This is a segment of Hadrian's Wall at Planetrees. Only a small portion of the original 84 mile wall remains. During the centuries after the Romans left England, most of the wall was dismantled by locals to build homes, churches and roads.
