Main Library, 100 Norfolk St

Join Ian Evans, Adventurer, speaker and founder of the Elora Adventure Film Festival for their lecture, "A Stroll with Hadrian." This will be Ian’s 10th presentation to the Historical Lecture Series. Please register. A Stroll with Hadrian: Together with the Antonine Wall, Hadrian’s Wall marked the most northerly point of the Roman Empire. Begun in AD 122, it took only 10 years to complete, running 140 km across northern England from Bowness in Solway in the west to Newcastle in the east. Abandoned in the 5th century, the wall fell into disrepair and only recently has been partially restored and protected. From forts, turrets and one of the most important Roman sites anywhere at Vindolanda, Hadrian’s Wall is a treasure trove for historians and hikers alike. Join Ian Evans as he recounts with history, quirky findings and fun his recent hike along the course of the wall.
