Our two sites - Roman Vindolanda and the Roman Army Museum - are situated amongst some of the best preserved sections of Hadrian's Wall. They lie in the beautiful central section of the Wall within the Northumberland National Park. We would recommend you allow a day to see both our attractions and if you are really swift you might manage a short walk as well! Whatever the weather, we can keep you and your friends, entertained, fed and watered. With free parking, unique exhibits and live archaeology to watch across the summer months an unforgettable and full day out awaits.
