Vindolanda Curator Barbara Birley has selected her personal top 10 finds from the Vindolanda collection and explains why the 10 selected are of particular interest.

Our impact

We estimate that only 24% of Vindolanda has been excavated, meaning we have another 150 years of excavating to go!

5,000,000

Since the Vindolanda Trust opened its doors to visitors in 1970 over 5 million people have visited our two sites.

47

The Vindolanda Trust employs 47 local staff, one of the largest tourism employers in Tynedale.
