Informations supplémentaires:
Northumberland National Park is located within a couple of miles of Bardon Mill. The Northern end of the North Pennines is just a mile or so from here. Vindolanda roman settlement is in the parish just over a mile North of the A69. It is a world renonowned site and the location of the finding of the Vindolanda tablets, the oldest postcards in the world. Some of these are to be found in the museum at Vindolanda along with a great many Roman finds from the days of emperor Hadrian. Hadrian's Wall is located three miles North of Bardon Mill and is a World Heritage Site. Many people come from all over the world to see the wall and the forts along it, the best preserved of which is Housesteads located three miles from the village. There is a very popular Hadrian's Wall Path 83 mile trail and also Hadrian's Cycleway which comes into the village. Once Brewed is at the heart of many ways to enjoy Hadrian’s Wall Country. Hadrian’s Cycleway passes close by and both the Hadrian’s Wall National Trail and the Pennine Way National Trail follow the line of the Wall just to the north of the Centre. The award-winning (and, more importantly, the very useful and eco-friendly) AD122 bus service stops here as it wends its way along to the major Wall-centred sites and sights. In the National Park itself, you’ll find yourself in wild Wall country. Here is some of the most spectacular scenery: sometimes inhospitable, sometimes challenging but always stunning and tranquil. The Visitor Centre provides some interesting interpretative displays that would probably have been useful to those earlier visitors who must have wondered what kind of a land they’d ended up in.
