Click here

Just enter details.

England offers no more wild and beautiful landscape than the scenery of Carlisle and Hadrian’s Wall Country. Enter this competition and we could transport you back in time to the age of the Roman Empire
as part of an eye-opening trip for two.
Our winner and guest will choose between the splendid Lakes Court Hotel in Carlisle and the elegant Farlam Hall Hotel, just three miles from the Wall, with two nights’ accommodation and dinner one evening.


The prize also includes unlimited travel on the Hadrian’s Wall Country Bus, which goes to all the key Roman locations, takes bicycles and has guides on board twice a day, plus tickets to the following sites:
• Carlisle Castle, Birdoswald Roman Fort, Lanercost Priory, Housesteads
Roman Fort, Chesters Roman Fort, Corbridge Roman Town
• Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery – a large selection of regional
heritage and art, including many Roman collections
• Roman Vindolanda – classic fort and civilian remains and live excavations
• Roman Army Museum – soar with the Eagle’s Eye film
• Segedunum Roman Fort, Baths and Museum – the Wall’s most-excavated fort, plus spectacular reconstructions

Our winner will also receive a selection of local produce from Hadrian’s Wall Hampers. One runner-up will win the same holiday at the hotel not chosen by the winner.
To enter the competition and to receive a free Carlisle & Hadrian's Wall Country Pack and a Rural Escapes brochure, fill out your details in the form to the right.
Prize draw entries must be received by 21 June 2008

G'luck! :D
