Roman VindolandaA stunning excavated fort and civilian settlement with extensive museum displaying amazing artefacts from the site including some of the world famous Vindolanda Writing Tablets.
Roman Army Museum, Walltown
An extensive museum which gives the whole family a fantastic introduction to the Roman Army andHadrian’s Wall. Be transported back 2000 years when you put on your 3D glasses to watch the award winning Eagles Eye film!
Walltown Crags
This is one of the finest places to see Hadrian’s Wall, where it snakes and dives through dramatic countryside along the crags of the Whin Sill. Not only is the Wall well preserved here, but it also shows how the soldiers who built it coped with the presence of large outcrops of natural rock. At one end is Walltown turret, which unusually was first built as a free standing tower.

Chesters Roman FortNestled in a beautiful riverside location, it’s not hard to see why Chesters was a good spot for the Romans to set up a base.
