Hardknott Roman Fort

A horrible drive up to the fort but well worth it!
A horrible drive up to the fort but well worth it!
About the fort: The fort is entered through its main (south) gate, which, like those in the eastern and western walls, had two carriageways; the north gate had just one, presumably because of its precipitous location. The walls of the fort are of stone, although an internal bank of earth may have given access to the wall-walk and to the internal guard towers at the four corners, which have no entrances at ground level and were later additions.
About the fort: The fort at Hardknott was established early in the second century AD: a fragmentary inscription, dating from the reign of the Emperor Hadrian (117–38), from the south gate records the garrison as the Fourth Cohort of Dalmatians, from the Balkans. The fort was demilitarised in the late 130s, when the Romans reoccupied southern Scotland, but was regarrisoned under Marcus Aurelius in the 160s; it was finally abandoned very early in the third century. Objects found around the fort suggest that thereafter its ruins offered temporary shelter to passing patrols and travellers.
About the fort: Barracks normally occupied the remainder of the fort; at Hardknott, however, no traces of these remain, although the front of the fort possibly contained barracks of stone and timber. At the rear, building would have been extremely difficult owing to the uneven ground, and the soldiers may have been housed in leather tents, remnants of which have been recovered in excavations. The parade-ground, where the garrison exercised and practised drill manoeuvres, lies on a plateau about 218 yards (200 metres) to the east.

9,2/10 Wonderful! (406 recensioner)
Quaint hotel within close distance to Manchester. Nice location and friendly staff. Perfect for plane spotters but the rooms are extremely well isolated. The rooms are nicely decorated (the Tower Suite is my opinion not worth the extra charge - lots of stairs and no extra view). The big setback is the cleaning (lots of small flies, spilled liquids from previous guests, etc) and the feeling that they aren’t splashing guests with extras (probably covid effect). But again, wonderful location and really friendly staff makes up for it.
