Hi All,
We enjoyed a fabulous final day in spite of occasional rain. First stop was Housestead, one of the best preserved Roman forts along Hadrian's Wall. It was built in 124 CE on the direction of Roman Emperor Hadrian to keep the northern barbarians out of the Roman Province of Britannia.
Here's a wide view of the fort which garrisoned 800 soldiers.
The wall runs across the crest of the hills.
This is the grainery with a raised floor to keep the grain dry and away from the vermin.
This is (or was) the latrine. They have better facilities now ;-).
After the fort we drove to the Lakes Region for some spectacular scenery. How about this great landscaping in Ambleside.

Rocks and sheep everywhere
plus an occasional waterfall
All in all a great finish to a great trip.
Love,
