Om denne aktiviteten

Du møter den lille gruppen i Edinburgh sentrum og reiser i en komfortabel minibuss langs Dere Street, en romersk vei som forbandt havnene i det sørlige England med romerske bosetninger sentralt i Skottland. Etter en kjøretur på én time ankommer du første reisemål, den historiske byen Jedburg. Her kan du spasere gjennom smale gater og se den augustinske klosterkirken Jedburgh Abbey fra det 12. århundre.

Deretter kjører du til Carter Bar, grenseovergangen mellom Skottland og England. Ta bilder på grensen, og fortsett deretter gjennom det fantastiske landskapet i Northumberland National Park til Steel Rigg hvor du får se store deler av Hadrians mur. Muren ble bygget i det 2. århundre e.Kr. under keiser Hadrians regjeringstid. Den er det største monumentet fra romersk Britannia og er oppført på UNESCOs verdensarvliste. Gå langs muren der romerske soldater bevoktet keiserrikets grenser for mer enn tusen år siden.

Deretter kjører du vestover til landsbyen Lanercost som er den vestlige porten til Hadrians mur, hvor det ble utkjempet en rekke slag under den flere århundrer lange krigen mellom England og Skottland. Her kan du spise lunsj på en lokal restaurant (for egen regning) og nyte atmosfæren i den sjarmerende landsbyen.

Etter lunsj går turen til Birdoswald, et av de best bevarte fortene blant de 16 som ble bygget langs Hadrians mur, og den lengste sammenhengende delen av muren som fortsatt står. Du kan utforske de vidstrakte ruinene mens guiden forklarer funksjonene til de eldgamle romerske bebyggelsene, inkludert noen nyere utgravinger.

Når du har utforsket Birdoswald, går du tilbake til minibussen og begynner på reisen tilbake til Edinburgh. Underveis blir det et stopp i den viktorianske spabyen Moffat før du passerer gjennom Southern Uplands og Scottish Borders.

The knowledge of the tour guide was impressive to say the least. One thing not appreciated is the stated opinion, by the tour guide, regarding American politics. In this case the opinion was visceral dislike to hatred when it came to the office of the president. That office is to be respected, period. Then there is the fact that the current President was elected by a significant margin. Lastly one needs to ask why this President was elected. This President was elected because the Congress has done NOTHING to address the major issues over the last decades, leaving the public, the voter, in a position to voice their dismay. That was clearly what occurred. Study the "why" and you will see the result, gross incompetence by the Congress, which elected a non-politician. semper Fi.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Robbie was a great host. He was also very sweet and accommodating, he helped me access the stops by pulling closer without even being asked which was very ( I have some mobility issues due to an injury ) The tour was fun and informative and full of nice little surprises.. We loved that Robbie had music picked out for us as well. Over all it was a great value and we will look at other tours from Rabbies our next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this trip. Jan was a fantastic guide! He regaled us with Scottish stories and lore during the ride. The ruins of the wall was set amid pastures and farmland and was breath taking! We stopped at charming villages along the way. Before we took off he warned us that if anyone did not appreciate history and ancient ruins, then you probably wouldnt enjoy this. We do love history and ruins and enjoyed every minute!!!

Great educational and entertaining tour of the area south of Edinburgh and the north of England. Richard gave us a great overview of the history of the border areas between Scotland and England, the reivers and how that shaped the character of the people. Jedburgh Abbey was fascinating to visit, and we loved seeing Hadrian's wall and Vindolanda with its archeological treasures. Seeing the countryside and hearing the history and culture at the same time is such a great way to see the countryside.

Walking along Hadrian's Wall and seeing an ancient Roman fort ruin is chance of a lifetime. Other sites worth visiting as well. Great tour.

I could not praise our tour guide Sean more! Sean was a history teaching before switching to tours and let me tell you that made ALL the difference on this tour with Rabbie's. You could tell how much Sean loved Scottish and English history. He knew so much about the time period the wall was build and clearly wanted to share that love with us on his tour. The Mercedes van was really comfy and we had a smaller group. Be prepared to hike around in possibly mud. It was winter for us so we brought lots of layers too as it was quite chilly outside. This was a fun day trip out from Edinburgh. We loved seeing the wall and learning about this time period in Scotland's history. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing the wall.
