The tour includes a 1-hour guided walk along the National Trail, a Roman mile from Birdoswald Roman Fort (English Heritage site) to Gilsland alongside Wall remains. Hear why and how the Wall was built, and the impact it had on the local culture and landscape. Alternatively, stay with the coach and visit Birdoswald Roman Fort, or enjoy a tea break, before re-joining the coach to meet-up with the walking group in Gilsland.
Then, travel through the Northumberland National Park to the Magna Roman Army Museum, where you will be thrilled with the audio-visual presentations. Finally, for a fantastic conclusion of the Hadrian’s Wall Guided Coach Tour experience, visit the award winning Vindolanda Fort and Museum, including a guided tour of the site with your guide. Exciting archaeological excavations are taking place here on selective dates.
