About: Discover the wonders of Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most significant remnants of the Roman Empire, on this full-day guided tour. Starting from Newcastle (or your chosen hotel), you’ll travel along this iconic wall and immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Roman frontier.
Your journey begins with a visit to the Roman fort of Housesteads, the most complete Roman fort still standing in Britain. Here, your expert guide will take you on a detailed tour, where you’ll have the opportunity to walk along the wall, explore its fortifications, and uncover the lives of the Roman soldiers who once guarded this strategic outpost. The views of the rugged northern landscape offer a glimpse into the wild geography of the frontier that stretched across Britain.
After soaking in the history at Housesteads, we’ll stop for a well-earned lunch at the Twice Brewed Inn, a cozy spot where you can relax and refuel before continuing your adventure.
