Discover Vindolanda, one of Britain’s most fascinating Roman archaeological sites, located just south of Hadrian’s Wall. Explore the remains of a Roman fort and village, walk through ancient streets, and see everyday artefacts that bring life on the northern frontier vividly to life. The on-site museum showcases incredible finds, including leather shoes, writing tablets, and personal items preserved for nearly 2,000 years.

Begin your Hadrian’s Wall adventure at Steel Rigg car park, one of the most breathtaking viewpoints along the Wall. From here, enjoy a short walk across rolling hills and dramatic landscapes to the iconic Sycamore Gap, where the once iconic lone tree stood framed by ancient Roman stonework. This stretch captures the true spirit of Northumberland — peaceful, rugged, and steeped in history.

Enjoy a relaxing lunch stop in Corbridge, one of Northumberland’s prettiest historic villages. Stroll its cobbled streets lined with independent cafés, delis, and small boutiques before sitting down to a hearty meal made with local produce. With Roman roots and a relaxed riverside setting, Corbridge offers the perfect pause in your Northumberland adventure.
