Housesteads Roman Fort was a large infantry fort constructed along the line of Hadrian’s Wall. It was garrisoned by a regiment recruited from Belgium and remained occupied for around 300 years. Today it is the most complete of any Roman Fort in Britain and offers a unique insight into Roman military operations.

Open all year round and set high on a dramatic escarpment on Hadrian's Wall, Housesteads Roman Fort (English Heritage) takes you back to the Roman Empire. Wander the barrack blocks and the hospital. Peer into the ancient communal Roman toilets and admire the stunning panoramic views of this World Heritage Site from this ancient fortress.
