Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The closest village to the western end of Hadrian's Wall, and the site of a Roman army camp. The church porch boasts a bell stolen from a Scottish church as revenge for a raid in which the Scots stole the church's original bell, only to lose it in Solway Firth on their return north.
