How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Roman wall along the northern edge of the map, lined with snowy forts and ruined towers.

The real place

Hadrian's Wall was begun in AD 122 and ran 73 miles across northern Britain. The best preserved stretch follows the crags of the Whin Sill, as in the photo above Crag Lough.

Visiting

Park at Steel Rigg and walk east along the wall past Crag Lough; the Housesteads Roman fort is about 3 miles on. Wear boots; the path is steep in places.
