Is the Hardnott "fort" a really fortress ruin, or the ruins of a villa?
In Britain, my biggest interest in Roman-ness are the villa, for the
opportunity to see the mosaic floors. I took in a number of them in
southern England on my trip last Fall.
As for the drive, yes, I make a point to drive over anything that calls
itself a "pass". Ha. I have a well-used Michelin Road Atlas of Great
Britain and Ireland to bring with me. I follow all the roads that are
marked in Green, meaning a scenic route.
