Hadrian's Wall & Pennine Way at Cawfield Crags
Hadrian's Wall & Pennine Way at Cawfield Crags
"Lo, where the Barrier holds its way,
Cresting the rock and mountain gray,
In ruin hoar, defying time.
Through all its range it seems sublime.
O, to have seen it when of old
It stood with all its turrets bold —
Its stations, castles towering high
In solemn grandeur to the sky!"

From 'To a Friend (on visiting the Roman Wall)' by Robert White, 1867.
