Welcome!

Hadriana's Treasures: Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland/Cumbria, United Kingdom; I, Hadriana aka Catherine Jarvis, am a North Eastern Lass. I studied and worked in London for 15 years. Followed by a Stint as a Part Time Red Sea Scuba Diver where I met my husband amongst the corals, sea grass and sea horses. Here we are (plus two children and an Egyptian dog) in the Heart of Hadrian's Wall Country, UK. Follow us as we realise our Roman Wall dreams! Come and look at my other website Catherine's Hands-On-Latin Courses (Tours, Latin, Languages & History)...for more info see: www.hands-on-latin.com @handsonlatin Facebook handsonlatin.com

"If you are interested in sightseeing and exploring the surrounding region, I suspect that you cannot do better than the Four Wynds. The owners are extremely well informed about the area, and are generous and helpful with their knowledge. We were interested in the Roman history of the wall and surrounds, but I think that they would be equally great, whatever your interests. Add to this the fact that the food was amazing. While on paper the menu was the same as any other, the understanding of ingredients and preparation was exceptional." A Californian Guest. www.tripadvisor.com
