Reviews
Historically important, but a bit of a let down to me. There are three elements here, an educational center, the well defined excavation and a reconstructed bath house. The educational center is oriented toward children. The view from the tower is the best thing here. It gives an eagle eye view of the excavation. Most of the interesting materials displayed, do not come from this site. The site is tidy and well defined, but all you will see, from above, is the outline of the camp. It is worth a viewing. The bath is closed to the public. When the one standing structure of an entire historic presentation is closed. I seriously downgrade them. I am glad I saw it, if only to know that I didn't miss anything extraordinary.

If you are into English history then you should visit Segedunum. I just loved the chance to start my tour of Hadrian's Wall.

A very interesting museum but it looks a bit half finished. Gives a good impression of the scale of Hadrian's wall.

Well maintained site, great museum to go along with plenty of interactive displays.

Disappointed. However the view from the carpark of the famous Tyne side docks is worth a photo.
