Day 4 Newtown to Gilsland

Hadrian’s Wall was medieval England’s Home Depot– Mike Salvino

Today was a much better day weather wise with no rain and temps in the 50s.

Our first stop today was the ruins of the Lanercost Priory.

The priory was almost totally built with materials “knicked” from the wall. The priory was constructed in the mid twelfth century.

The priory is very interesting and does a good job of setting the mood with music in the attached video :

Folks I’m about out of gas with a tough day tomorrow so I’ll cut the narrative short and load the pics of the priory and catch up on the rest of today, tomorrow.
