Step into over 2,000 years of history as you explore some of Britain's finest Roman remains, set amongst the breathtaking landscapes of the Heart of Hadrian's Wall. Wander through remarkably preserved forts, discover ancient barracks, bathhouses and gateways, and uncover the stories of the soldiers and families who once lived on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. Interactive exhibitions, fascinating museums and hands-on activities bring the past to life for visitors of all ages.
The story doesn't end with the Romans either. Scattered across this historic landscape are reminders of the turbulent Border years, including the atmospheric ruins of a medieval castle, originally built in the 12th century and later strengthened using stone from Hadrian's Wall itself. Together, these remarkable landmarks reveal the rich heritage of a landscape shaped by centuries of history, inviting you to explore, discover and connect with the history of this extraordinary place
