Hadrian's Wall
Two summers ago, I went to Haltwhistle, England, a tiny town in Northumberland. I explored the beautiful Hadrian’s Wall country, which is teeming with history. I wrote about my experience in a guest post that was just published on Europe a la Carte, a wonderful blog all about travel in Europe. I hope you will take a moment to stop by and read it!

lovely post! I’ve always wanted to visit that corner of Britian…
Also, what was your mom studying in England? I’m show my extreme literary nerdiness…
Yes, you have to go there, Stephanie — it is unbelievably beautiful!
My mom is a high school English teacher and writer…..she was there studying the Romantic poets. Wordsworth, Coleridge, and some other famous poets lived in the Lake District, so we wandered around there. We also spent a good amount of time exploring places significant to Sir Walter Scott (Edinburgh, Scottish borders, etc.)
If you like that kind of thing, you would love the blog she wrote during our trip:
