Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Military buffs will delight in this 4.5-hour tour that travels the "Military Road," the largest Roman relic in Great Britain. Depart port via motorcoach and skirt the city before following the valley of the River Tyne west, an area dominated by Hadrian's Wall, a World Heritage Site set in a beautiful landscape. Built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, the wall designated the northern limit of the empire and was meant to control the flow of people from the north. Travelling along a road that follows the original route of the wall, you'll arrive at Chesters Roman Fort, one of the best-preserved sites along the wall. Here, the remains of the garrison buildings, including a centrally heated bathhouse, can be explored. Continue on to Cawfields Roman Milecastle for a brief stop near this conserved part of the wall. Pause for photos before your return to port along the picturesque River Tyne Valley.
