JGolomb Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Eco Revamp Plan for Hadrian's Wall A management plan has been published that maps out how the World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall will be conserved, researched and made accessible to visitors and local communities over the next five years. The wall was built in the 120s AD during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian as the northern frontier of Roman-occupied Britannia. The site today is one of Britain's most outstanding historical monuments; it recently came second in a list of favourite British sites as voted by the UK's children - beaten only by Stonehenge. It's also of educational, environmental and economic value to many different groups of people, including archaeological researchers, conservationists, visitors and local businesses. The five-year plan sets out to provide care for the heritage site, while also providing access and opportunities for different members of the community. One of the priorities will be the conservation of archaeological sites along the wall. Further excavation and research are also important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
