Housesteads Roman Fort, Northumberland
Visitors and daytrippers looking to explore North East heritage can discover Roman bath houses, turrets and shrines, visit galleries and museums in Newcastle and South Shields where the Wall can be found in very urban and often unexpected surroundings. In Tyne and Wear - you can visit parts of Hadrian's Wall at Segedunum Roman Fort and Museum in Wallsend and Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields. Visit family-friendly attraction Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle city centre and discover an excellent collection of Roman artefacts on display.
Chesters Roman Fort
Visitors to Newcastle and Gateshead can also journey out on a day trip to experience this significant slice of history at attractions along the Wall. Watch live excavations uncover fresh details of ancient Roman Britain before your eyes at Vindolanda – a venue which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2020. However you discover it, Hadrian’s Wall is a unique, must-see monument and the story of the Roman’s life in Britain is brought to life in reenactments and exhibitions at English Heritage sites including Chesters Roman Fort and Housesteads Roman Fort which are well-worth a visit.
For around three centuries, Hadrian’s Wall was a vibrant, multi-cultured frontier sprawling almost 80 miles coast-to-coast. Built by a force of 15,000 men in under six years the UNESCO World Heritage Site is as astounding today for its sheer vision as it is for its engineering. Milecastles, barracks, ramparts and forts punctuate a diverse landscape that provides a dramatic backdrop from Newcastle on the east coast, through Northumberland and Cumbria right across the breadth of England to the west coast at Whitehaven.
