    Tips

    Hiking

    Housesteads is the most complete Roman fort that survives in Britain. Set high on a dramatic escarpment on Hadrian's Wall, there are spectacular panoramic views from this point. As the fort is so well-preserved, you can walk through ancient barrack blocks and the hospital and peer into the oldest toilet you will see.

    Hiking

    Housesteads Roman Fort was thought to have been built around AD 124 and formed an important part of Emperor Hadrian's Wall. Today, the site is owned by the National Trust and managed by English Heritage. You can explore the remains of the barracks and hospital, though you'll need to buy a ticket.

    The remains can also be admired from afar from the Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail. The visitor centre is a good parking option for the start of a hike in the area.
