About Housesteads Roman Fort
Walk in the footsteps of Roman soldiers at Housesteads Roman Fort, the most complete example of a Roman fort in Britain, set high on Hadrian’s Wall. Families can explore the barracks, hospital, commander’s house, and even the remarkably preserved communal toilets! The interactive museum brings Roman history to life with fascinating artefacts and CGI reconstructions. Enjoy breathtaking views across the Northumberland landscape from the Wall itself. It’s an inspiring and educational day out, offering a tangible connection to the past and plenty of space for kids to imagine life on the Roman frontier.
