2023 Scotland/England Adventure (Part 5)

After six weeks of exploring Scotland, 
it was time to start making our way down to 
London to drop off our motorhome.
Hadrian's Wall.
Sycamore Gap at Hadrian's Wall. 
We were there two weeks after the Sycamore tree 
was cut down by vandals. The day we were there they 
were preparing to lift the tree off Hadrian's Wall.
Roman ruins at Vindolanda.
Vindolanda. We found out about these great ruins
by talking to some locals at Hadrian's Wall.

We had a lovely time walking around the farm 
amongst the animals and pumpkins!

I was thinking about the bridge house. It is super neat, and I know arches are very strong, but interesting to live where people can walk under your house.
