Om den här aktiviteten

Du möter upp med din lilla grupp i centrala Edinburgh och reser bekvämt med minibuss längs Dere Street. En romersk väg som länkar samman hamnar i södra England till romerska bosättningarna i centrala Skottland. Efter en timmes färd når du den första destinationen. Den historiska staden Jedburgh där du går genom de smala gatorna och passerar Jedburgh Abbey från 1100-talet, ett Augustuskloster.

Därefter åker du till Carter Bar, korsningspunkten mellan Skottland och England. Ta bilder på gränslandet och fortsätt sedan genom det magnifika landskapet i Northumberland National Park till Steel Rigg, där du kan se stora delar av Hadrianus mur. Byggdes på 100-talet e.kr. under kejsare Hadrianus. Muren är det största monumentet över det romerska Storbritannien och har nu tagits upp på UNESCO:s världsarvslista. Vandra längs muren där romerska soldater vaktade deras välde för årtusenden sedan.

Därefter åker du västerut till byn Lanercost, västra porten till Hadrianus mur och plats för många fältslag i flera hundra år långa kriget mellan England och Skottland. Här stannar du för stopp på en lokal restaurang (på egen bekostnad) och njuter av stämningen i den charmiga byn.

Efter lunchen åker du till närliggande Birdoswald, ett av de bäst bevarade forten av de 16 som byggdes längs Hadrianus mur och den längsta kontinuerliga återstående sträckan av muren. Du utforskar omfattande rester medan guiden berättar om de antika romerska befästningarna, bland annat några av de senare utgrävningarna.

När du har tagit in sevärdheterna i Birdoswald får du åter stiga på minibussen och börja resan tillbaka till Edinburgh. Vi gör ett stopp i den viktorianska badorten Moffat innan du åker genom Southern Uplands och Scottish Borders tillbaka till Edinburgh.

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.
