Hare Hill, Brampton, Cumbria, CA8 2JJ
Hare Hill in Cumbria is the tallest remaining stretch of Hadrian's Wall, standing up to 3 metres high. It probably survived because it was later built into the wall of a medieval structure. In the 19th century it was substantially rebuilt, using Roman masonry which was probably retrieved from the surrounding area.
