AFTER BRITANNIA: A JOURNEY ALONG HADRIANS WALL (HB)

Join Alistair Moffat on a journey along Hadrian's Wall as he writes a new history of Scotland and northern England. Beginning in Jarrow on the River Tyne, at the monastery where Bede wrote the definitive Ecclesiastical History of the English People in the early 8th century, we travel westwards along the length of the Wall. We’ll encounter the ghosts of Roman legionaries, Celtic monks and Anglo-Saxon kings, as well as the researchers and archaeologists working to uncover and understand the Wall’s secrets.
