Hard Knott Roman Fort

A little way up Hardknott pass from the Eskdale side just before the higher really sharp hairpin bend are the remains of a Roman Fort still with the flat parade ground a little above. What a place it must have been in its day. Overlooking Eskdale, high, and remote. A beautiful place when the sun shone, but brutal in the cold and rain. Apparently it wasn't occupied for long!
