DESCRIPTION:Tour Details\nWe will be starting at Birdoswald Roman Fort (Eng
 lish Heritage) and I will be showing you the Roman Fort from Pre-Roman tim

 idge\, a Roman centurial stone\, Roman Turrets and much more! We will be m
 aking a refreshment stop at Meg’s café\, home of the infamous Meg Teasdale
  of Mump’s Hall\, where I will talk about Sir Walter Scott\, his novels an
 d The Rebellious Reivers. (We will have a hot drink or juice and biscuits 
 there.) I will be laying out the scene of how vibrant and cosmopolitan Gil
 sland was in the Victorian/Edwardian/Modern Age. We will then walk to the 
 Newcastle-Carlisle Railway and I will be pointing out the Gilsland Spa Hot
 el. We will also have time to discover how life was lived in Gilsland Vill
 age throughout the ages and hearing about the history of the Village Hall/
 Reading Rooms. We will finish the tour at the rear of the Samson Inn after
  seeing the perfectly preserved Roman Milecastle 48 of Poltross/The King’s
