What to see and do in the local area
Hadrian's Wall
We are located about 10 miles from Banks Turret, which is the nearest place where you can actually see the remains of Hadrian's Wall. Another 3 miles to the east is the Roman fort of Birdoswald - partially excavated with surrounding walls and gateways. Beyond the fort is a wonderful section of original Wall, which you can walk along for about one mile to the village of Gilsland.
Housesteads Fort sits astride Hadrian's Wall. Here you will find a partially excavated Roman fort, complete with commanding officer's house, the headquarters building (principia), granaries, barracks and the famous communal latrine.
