“WALL” | Hadrian’s Wall, Northumberland | DJI Phantom 4

Flying over Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland on a winter's night. When the light is right, Hadrian’s Wall is one our favourite places to film. We’re lucky that our studio is just a 20 minute drive from one of the most scenic parts of the historic Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland. As such, it’s one of our favourite spots for a hike around and to blow the cobwebs away. On a recent visit this month, and after a dusting of snow, we took the drone along to see how things looked. We had a great walk along past Sycamore Gap but the light was very flat and uninteresting so the drone stayed put. After a beer and a bowl of chips in the nearby Twice Brewed pub however, the light changed for the better with the onset of dusk. It was more of a “golden half hour” than “golden hour” but we only needed one battery and about 20 minutes of flight tim with the DJI Phantom 4 to capture some lovely footage in beautiful wintry conditions. -- Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium), also called the Roman Wall, Picts' Wall, or Vallum Hadriani in Latin, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in 122 AD in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Firth on the Irish Sea, and was the northern limit of the Roman Empire, immediately north of which were the lands of the northern Ancient Britons, including the Picts. It had a stone base and a stone wall. There were milecastles with two turrets in between. There was a fort about every five Roman miles. From north to south, the wall comprised a ditch, wall, military way and vallum, another ditch with adjoining mounds. It is thought the milecastles were staffed with static garrisons, whereas the forts had fighting garrisons of infantry and cavalry. In addition to the wall's defensive military role, its gates may have been customs posts. A significant portion of the wall still stands and can be followed on foot along the adjoining Hadrian's Wall Path. The largest Roman artefact anywhere, it runs a total of 73 miles in northern England. Regarded as a British cultural icon, Hadrian's Wall is one of Britain's major ancient tourist attractions. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. --- Music: "Snowmen" by Kai Engel kai-engel.com
