Cautley Spout, Cumbria.

Cautley Spout is in the county of Cumbria and in the far west of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is said to be the highest waterfall (198 metres) in England, though it is made up of several broken falls. It is truly stunning place to visit. The waterfall can be seen from the main road on Howgill Fells. One of the magical things about this spectacular waterfall is that is has a feeling of discovery about it, though it is seen from the road, few venture the 1.5 mile (one way) trek to see it. Once reaching it you can explore, boulder climb or walk to the top. We went on a glorious summers evening and there wasn't a soul about, we even ventured a dip under one of the less fierce cascades. Truly an amazing beautiful place to visit.

Hadrian's Wall.

Hadrian's Wall runs from Carlisle in the West to Newcastle in the East. Following the wall is 73.5 miles (80 Roman miles) of footpath. The wall was started around AD122 by Emperor Hadrian and was built to prevent attacks from the Pictish tribes from Scotland. Originally the wall is said to have been 6 metre high, though, at most it is now 1.5 metres.

Every Roman miles along the wall there was a fort and every 1/3 mile a watch tower. Though most of the wall, forts and watchtowers are now little more than foundations you still get a sense of awe at the man power and effort required to build such a feat. It an impressive place to visit, with (in the right weather) stunning views of a beautiful part of the country.
