Overview

The Hadrian’s Wall tour travels out of the Lake District for the day and into the rugged countryside of Northumberland. The main focus of the day is the Wall of which we travel along viewing its remains of turrets, mile castles and forts. During your day you will have time to enjoy the Roman Army Museum, exploring the history of the Romans and learning what it was like to work on the ‘Wall’. A highlight of the tour is Vindolanda, a Roman settlement; one of Europe’s largest excavation sites and is still being worked on today.

Had a really great day, Duncan our driver and tour guide was excellent, not only does he have extensive knowledge of Hadrians Wall, Lancercost Priory & Vindolanda but also the villages, towns and landscape we passed through on our journey to and from Hadrians Wall which I found really interesting and gave a real insight into how the Romans influenced the area. Driving past the lakes and beautful countryside went to making this a memorable day.
