Review
Renowned photographer Derry Brabbs followed and shot the wall, producing one of the year's most beautiful illustrated books. (Waterstone's Books Quarterly )

Hadrian's Wall…is one of the world's most evocative monuments. These pictures communicate something of its special presence. (Cumberland News )

Travelling the length and breadth of the route a number of times, Brabbs has produced a stunning photographic essay of the wall in all seasons which would make anyone with even half a soul reach for their walking boots and rucksack immediately. (Daily Mail )

A delightful lightweight hardback coffee-table book about the famous wall, filled with evocative colour plates. (Spectator )
