点评:I took 2 of our adult children on an outing to Newcastle, and then the Hadrian Wall experience. We used to live in Rome for a year, so we wanted to see some of the best Roman ruins in England. We rented a car from Newcastle train station (very easy experience), and then started off at Vindolanda, and it was excellent. Very glad we took the time to see the old Roman fort ruins, and do the free guided tour. The tour guide (Annette) was excellent. Very fun, humorous, but incredibly knowledgeable. The volunteer tour guides, if Annette is any indication, are amazing. Definitely worth planning your visit around one of the free guided tours - the times are posted on the website, so be sure to check on that. I thought it was best to do the guided tour first, then do the museum, and that turned out to be best. You get more insight from the museum after you have been on the tour. Thank you Annette and Vindolanda, for an incredible visit and education. Then we drove down the road a little ways to Mile Castle Inn, for a bite of lunch, and visited the wall at Milecastle 42. Excellent end to our Hadrian Wall day. The pub is super cozy (and old), and the quarry and wall segment at 42 was worthy. We didn't have time to do a long hike, but this was a good stop, and the kids loved it. Very photo worthy as well.
翻译:我带着两个成年的孩子去纽卡斯尔一日游,之后又去了哈德良长城。我们曾在罗马生活过一年,所以很想看看英国最棒的罗马遗址。我们在纽卡斯尔火车站租了一辆车(非常方便),然后从文多兰达遗址出发,体验非常棒。我们很高兴抽出时间参观了古老的罗马堡垒遗址,并参加了免费的导览。导游安妮特非常出色,风趣幽默,而且知识渊博。如果安妮特的表现可以作为参考的话,那么志愿者导游们都非常优秀。强烈建议您根据免费导览来安排行程——导览时间会发布在网站上,所以一定要查看一下。我当时觉得最好先参加导览,然后再去博物馆,事实证明这是最佳选择。参加过导览之后,您对博物馆的理解会更加深入。感谢安妮特和文多兰达遗址,让我们拥有了一次精彩的参观和学习之旅。然后我们开车沿着公路往前开了一小段路,到了迈尔城堡旅馆 (Mile Castle Inn),吃了顿午饭,顺便参观了42英里处的哈德良长城。这真是我们哈德良长城一日游的完美结尾。这家酒吧非常舒适(而且很古老),42英里处的采石场和长城遗址也值得一看。我们没有时间进行长途徒步旅行,但这里是个不错的停留点,孩子们也很喜欢。这里也非常适合拍照。
