We were very lucky to have a gorgeous, sunny day to wander slowly around the vast amount of ruins and enjoy the lovely countryside surrounding them too. The kids found it very informative and enjoyed being able to walk through the ruins and imagine what it might have been like to have been a Roman soldier staying there. The staff were nice and always on hand to answer questions. The museum area was very interesting and had a lot of amazing stonework and other objects on display. And dogs are very welcome too!
Brilliant day out to explore, if you can go on the tour I'd recommend. Excellent site some steep bits if mobility an issue but still plenty you can see if you take it steady. Well laid out with informative boards. Amazing to see the level of what has been found. The museum small but packed with interesting finds. A definite thumbs up!
Great place, very informative. Lovely little museum full of amazing things excavated locally. Lots of boards around to provide you with all the information you need. A very extensive site but so tranquil & peaceful. Brilliant facilities clean toilets & a lovely little tearoom with friendly staff.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I'm sure everything positive that could be said about this place has been said thousands of times. It's one of my favourite places in the world. Right from the off, the EH staff in the gift shop are warm and welcoming. After that, it's straight to the fantastic museum, then out into the fort itself. Let your imagination run away with you as I do, every time and try to picture the site as it was 1800 years ago, with the sounds and smells of a bustling cavalry garrison. I will be back - again!
Fascinating insight into life in a Roman fort. Lovely location by river. Interesting museum. Small but lovely tea room. Slightly annoying you have to pay for parking as well as entry fee.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Great heritage site. If you're able to get in a guided tour, that is absolutely fantastic our guide Paul was incredibly knowledgeable. We also happened to be there the same day the Roman falconry display was there and that too was amazing.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Situated next to a stately home whose old owner found and excavated the ruins. There are foundations of barracks, houses, commanders area and one of the best preserved bath houses. Detailed information was given for every area. There is also a museum which shows many pieces found on site. Lovely piece of Roman history and the forts along Hadrians Wall.
What a site, huge surprise and so much still uncovered, real insights into not only this fort but the many places along the wall that were preserved. Honestly replaced my favourite Roman site of Lullingstone Villa as top of my list.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
In my opinion this was the best of the Roman forts we encountered while hiking Hadrian's Wall. Nicely maintained site with informative tours included in the admission price. The museum here had a huge collection of amazing artifacts.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
