UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE ROMAN FRONTIER

Taking over 6 years to build, the wall boasted 80 milecastles, 17 larger forts and a defensive earthwork, the Vallum, to the south (and a more V-shaped ditch to the north).

The Roman frontier does not just comprise of Hadrian’s Wall, however, but, also the older structures that pre-date the wall along the Stanegate and the Roman roads leading north.

There are many museums & forts that will tell stories and give you insights – some of our favourites are Vindolanda Roman Fort & Roman Army Museum, Housesteads Roman Fort, Binchester, Chester Fort & Museum, Great North Museum in Newcastle or Arbeia fort in South Shields.
