The central sections of the wall remain in good condition and worth visiting. The forts of Chesters, Corbridge, and Housesteads offer good viewing, while the section of wall between Housesteads and Great Chesters is the most wildly evocative in terms of scenery taking in the stunning Northumberland countryside.
The work on Hadrian's Wall was carried out by members of the second, sixth and 20th legions. The "project manager" was the Governor of Britain, Aulus Platorius Nepos.
