I was surprised to see how much of the walls and associated forts remain, in ruins yes, but still there. Fascinating!

The driver was so knowledgeable about the history of the Romans. The last destination of the Roman village was amazing. I would like to thank him as we all felt very safe with his driving. We asked him to drop us off in Ambleside as we booked a table at Lucy on a Plate, he only went and dropped us off outside the restaurant. How good was that.
