This was the fort that supplied hadrians wall for the Romans’ , reconstructed buildings and friendly willing helpful staff made this a gem of a place to visit , little known to ordinary folk it was a lovely treat to find this , lucky we got to see it as they shut at the end of sept till next season , we’ll worth a visit for anyone interested in the Roman history of the region .

An intriguing set of partly human sculptures in groupings and different postures. In my experience, children love them and are fascinated by them. The statues and their postures and placing suggest different stories and characters, go along and see what you think.
