Win a two night Spirit of Hadrian's at Matfen Hall break! |
|
| |
 Matfen Hall Hotel, teaming up with the Emperor Hadrian to offer a unique prize. For two people to experience life in Roman Britain, from the comfort of a 2 night stay in the kind of luxury that the emperor himself would have envied.
Hadrian's Wall Country stretches from Arbeia on South Tyneside to Ravenglass on the Cumbrian coast: 150 miles of dramatic landscapes, a National Trail, a National Park and two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. And at its heart is the Wall itself, an World Heritage Site with a string of forts and museums to explore - which together tell the 2,000-year-old story of the Roman Frontier in the north of England.
Whether you’re looking for magnificent ruins in picturesque landscapes, fascinating museum collections or simply a great day out, you’re sure to find it at one of English Heritage’s four sites along Hadrian’s Wall. Housesteads Roman Fort, Chesters Roman Fort
The best-preserved example of a Roman cavalry fort in Britain, Corbridge Roman Town, with impressive ruins of a garrison town, and Birdoswald Roman Fort.
This unique Hadrian's Wall Package combines visits to the English Heritage sites on the Wall, 2 night’s dinner bed and breakfast and copy of the much awaited and already highly acclaimed book - The Spirit of Hadrian's Wall. Each person will receive, some Roman style pampering, a spa treatment of either an Italian Hot Stone Massage or a Roman Lushly Hand and Foot Treatment.
This includes 1 ticket per person giving admission to the top English Heritage sites on Hadrian's Wall at Housesteads, Chesters, Birdoswald, or Corbridge.
Your conquest of The Wall will be aided by a comprehensive guide book provided, and a copy of Roger Clegg’s book, The Spirit of Hadrian's Wall published by Cicerone www.cicerone.co.uk. Roger has devoted much of the last six years to photographing the Wall and the surrounding countryside and this book provides a rare insight into the Wall and its landscape at times of day and seasons of the year that few visitors ever see. This unique collection of atmospheric photographs will not be available in the UK until November, but will be posted to anyone taking Matfen’s unique tour, as a fitting memorial to their personal conquest.
Matfen Hall near Corbridge in Northumberland, makes an ideal base for exploring Hadrian's Wall as it is only 2 miles north of its route. Set in 200 acres, with 53 individually designed bedrooms, 2 AA Rosette Restaurant, a luxurious spa and 27 hole golf course, spa, and leisure; Matfen Hall is a country house hotel which would have been fitting for any imperial Roman to visit.
This prize is subject to availability until 30th October 2008 and may be taken Sunday to Thursday Evenings only.
