Michael Portillo in Great British Railway Journeys (2010)

The Emperor Hadrian built it to keep out the Caledonians. It runs from coast to coast. It was eleven feet high, it had ditches, it had a castle every mile, it had fortresses big enough to hold 17,000 troops. Four legions built it in eight years. It was the most fantastic engineering project. You have to be impressed. And you have to be DEpressed - that so much effort was put into keeping two peoples separate.
