World heritage site - not to be missed. Our grandson is covering Roman history in his next term project so we took the opportunity for a visit to this impressive fort whilst visiting the area. It is humbling to think that 2000 years ago the Roman builders had installed many of the things in this fort that we thing of as modern today - underfloor heating, flushing toilets, running water to name but a few items. Whilst the walk to the fort from the car park is a little steep in paces the walk is well worth the effort for both fort and museum access - as well as the optional walk along the wall itself. It is amazing that the layout of the fort and associated infrastructure is so clearly laid out and easy to access and get to see. Friendly staff were able to answer just about all of our questions and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Far reaching views just add to the experience. A must see site.

Imagine what life was like for the 800 soldiers living and working at Housesteads in the Roman Period. The fort's original name was Vercovicium, meaning 'the placeof the effective fighters'. At the very edge of their empire, the soldiers were secure and self-sufficient within the fort. Take a journey through time with a tour of the fort.
