Hadrians Wall, Roman Vindolanda & The Roman Army Museum
Step back nearly 2,000 years and explore the dramatic legacy of Roman Britain at Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once marked the northern edge of the Roman Empire. Just south of the wall, the Roman Vindolanda fort offers an extraordinary glimpse into daily life on the frontier, with ongoing archaeological digs and one of the best-preserved collections of Roman artefacts in the UK—including the famous Vindolanda writing tablets. A short drive away, the Roman Army Museum immerses visitors in the story of Rome’s legions with 3D films, interactive displays, and real artefacts, all set beside a stunning stretch of the wall itself. Together, these sites make for a fascinating and family-friendly journey into ancient history, right in the heart of the Northumberland countryside.
