Hadrian's Wall was inscribed as a World Heritage Site (WHS) in 1987
and, with the German Limes, became one of the first two parts of
the transnational 'Frontiers of the Roman Empire' (FRE) WHS in
2005. The World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall is unusual,
although not unique, among World Heritage sites in its scale and
linear nature: stretching from Ravenglass on the west coast of
England to Newcastle upon Tyne on the east coast - over 150 miles.
Along its length it passes through two major urban centres and a
variety of rural landscapes and its remains vary from substantial
upstanding architectural features to invisible below ground
archaeology. Traditionally many of the constituent parts of
Hadrian's Wall, forts etc, have been managed as separate entities
by different State and private organisations. These and other
issues make it an extremely complex WHS to manage. This book not
only chronicles the past management of the Wall but also looks
towards the future as more countries aspire to have their Roman
frontiers added to the FRE. The experience gained over the last two
decades illustrates developments in the management of large scale
complex heritage sites that will be of value as a detailed case
study to those involved in (and affected by) heritage management,
as well as academics, and students. Many of the issues raised will
find resonance in those faced by many other large (World) heritage
sites.
