Housesteads Roman Fort - Full Tour. Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland
Housesteads is the most complete Roman fort in Britain today. Perched high on a wild escarpment, this isolated location really gives visitors a true sense of what it was like for the legionaries living at the edge of the Roman Empire. My film takes you on an entire tour around the fort.
Reasons to visit –
• This is the most complete Roman fort in Britain.
• Impressive views and location on Hadrian’s Wall.
• Best preserved Roman toilet in Britain.
• The only Hospital found in Roman Britain.
• A museum crammed with sculptures and artifacts.
• Great place to start a walk along the wall.
This is a great place to start a walk along Hadrians Wall. To the west of the fort in a wooded area is a section of the wall, which has been integrated into the walking trail. This is the only part of the wall that you can officially walk on.
You can get to Housesteads by car, bus (AD122) or by walking along Hadrian's Wall. From the main car park there is a short uphill walk. There is disabled access to the museum but the site itself has limited access as it is on a steep slope and has steps. There is disabled parking at the museum to avoid the uphill walk to the fort but must be arranged with the visitor centre. The AD122 only runs from the end of March until the end of September.
The site is run by English Heritage and is also free to National Trust members. The site is open most of the year but opening times vary, check the website for details.
The visitor centre,, next to the fort, has limited facilities and portable toilets. The main centre by the car park has better facilities but is a 10 minute walk from the fort.
Location: Haydon Bridge, Hexham, Northumberland, NE47 6NN.
The History bit -
Hadrian’s Wall started to be built in AD122, for 300 years it remained the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire and is the most important Roman monument built in Britain. The Wall was built to protect the Empire from the northern barbarians and to control the population and trade.
The fort was built after work on the wall had already started. The decision to build a fort on the wall may have been in response to barbarian attacks. The fort was defended by 800 legionaries.
In AD 139 the Romans advanced into Scotland and created the Antonine Wall. Whilst some of Hadrian’s Wall was abandoned Housesteads appears to have continued to be occupied. The Antonine Wall was abandoned in AD 158 and once again Hadrian’s Wall became the Roman's main defensive line.
The auxiliary troops at Housesteads would have been under continued threat of attack. In the AD 150s, 180s and again in AD 367 there was serious unrest in Britain. During the AD 180s the wall was over-run and a general and his troops were killed. There was extensive building work during the reign of Septimus Severus indicating Housesteads played a role during the invasion of Scotland AD 208 - 211.
During its lifetime Housesteads was garrisoned by auxiliary infantry troops, cavalry and even archers. The auxiliary infantry unit of Tungrians, originated from Belgium. At one time soldiers from a regiment of Syrian bowmen were stationed at Housesteads, the range of their arrows providing an excellent addition to the fort’s defences. In the third century a small cavalry unit of Frisians ( from Holland) were stationed at the fort.
Interesting facts –
The Romans called the fort Vercovicium which means “hilly place” or “settlement on the slope”.
The fort had no natural supply of water and the Romans relied on collecting rain water for drinking and bathing water.

Making Videos in England For my Friends in Thailand to View and Making Videos in Thailand for the World to View Corbridge is a village in Northumberland England ,16 miles west of Newcastle and 4 miles east of Hexham. Corbridge is in the heart of Hadrian's Corbridge is an attractive Town located towards the South of Northumberland just 18 miles west of Newcastle Upon Tyne in the heart of 'Hadrian's Wall Country'. Rising from Corstopitum, this was a Roman supply Town, feeding the troops on nearby Hadrian's Wall. Corbridge has an interesting history and has long been known for it's independent, boutique style shops from as far back as the 1820's. Many of these shop fronts still survive today and the Town still holds a lot of it's original character and appeal with ancient buildings, churches and nearby Castles.Wall Country.A beautiful thriving town, and tourist attraction steeped in history. Getting There
Getting to Corbridge by road is easy and very convenient, it's just minutes off the A69 West of Newcastle. Parking is limited to on-street in the Town except for a small parking area in the Market Place. Corbridge is also well served by Public Transport, with one of Arriva's main routes (Newcastle to Carlisle) stopping in Corbridge. This route connects Corbridge with Hexham, Haydon Bridge, Haltwhistle, Brampton and Carlisle as well as Newcastle. There is also a bus service that runs from Morpeth that goes through Corbridge on it's way to Hexham. There is a Train Station just outside the Town to the South of the River Tyne. Trains run regularly along this line between Newcastle and Carlisle in both directions. The line is operated by Northern RailCorbridge is a quiet Town in the middle of Hadrian's Wall country. The area has many attractions of it's own that are worth visiting including the Corbridge Roman Town, the remains of a Roman garrison just to the West of the Town centre. There is also the fantastic Aydon Castle, and English Heritage Site that has been the set of many films including Elizabeth starring Cate Blanchett. Walkers and cyclists will also be pleased with the beautiful scenery on offer along with many nearby golf courses in the Tyne Valley.There is a good choice of places to eat in Corbridge and the surrounding area. In the Town itself most of the Restaurants, Pubs and Cafes centre around the Market Place and the streets around it including Front Street, Middle Street and Hill Street. The Town has many traditional, attractive Pubs, a good selection of Cafes, Deli's and Takeaways and an Indian Restaurant. More information about these places can be found on the next page, all the top places to eat are also marked on our interactive Town map of Corbridge. Explore your guide to There is a good choice of Hotels, B&B's and Self Catering Accommodation in the Corbridge area and it makes a good base from which to explore Hadrian's Wall and Northumberland. Corbridge has long been known for it's shops, even as far back as 1827 it was renowned in Victorian times. There are many of these shop fronts still visible today and the Town still maintains it's reputation for boutique, independent shopping. The Market Place has a Butcher and Baker (but no candlestick maker), a florist, food store, Thresher the off license, a sweet shop, Book shop, the Corbridge Tandoori and a wedding dress shop. The massively varied shops on the streets around should just be explored in person for their uniqueness and quirky variety including a large number of ladies fashion shops, gift shops and jewellers.For food shopping, other than the Butcher and Baker, on Hill Street there is a Co-op supermarket and the Corbridge Larder. I believe that the Corbridge Larder is something special that should be celebrated. The Delicatessen is unlike any other shop that you'll come across, they stand for quality and value above all else and have done for over twenty years. Their products are extensive and of the finest quality: over 100 types of cheese, 80 types of jam, marmalade and honey, home-made pies, quiches and tarts, Italian antipasto, Greek meze and fine cheese from their award winning cheese shop. Their coffee shop only serves what they sell, which is a statement of pure confidence in what their produce, and rightly so. You simply can't visit Corbridge without popping to the Corbridge Larder.
On the Eastern edge of Corbridge, just off the A69 is Brockbushes award-winning Farm Shop, a great place to stop off and pick up some amazing local produce if you are passing by. It's very conveniently located, has a lovely tea room and pick your own facilities when the fruit is in season.Corbridge plays host to he annual Northumbria Food and Wine Festival in October each year.

What does aerial photography tell us about the Roman advance?
This video is from ‘Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier’ is a free online course by the University of Newcastle available on FutureLearn.com
For those unfortunate enough to witness its terrifying onslaught, the passage of Rome’s campaigning army must have been striking. Smoke curling up where villages had once stood, crows circling sites littered with corpses, the detritus left by the passage of thousands of soldiers. Rome’s public monuments openly depict the brutality that accompanied her conquests, but almost two millennia later, we use very different clues to track her soldiers’ murderous routes through northern Britain.
The fast pace of campaigning armies can mean that little endures of their passing for archaeologists to find. But Roman soldiers built temporary camps as they advanced into Scotland. Few of these contained internal buildings (tents sufficed) but ramparts were required to keep the enemy out and deserters in. These ramparts and their accompanying ditches survive. Eroded, diminished by centuries of ploughing, they can be hard to see from ground. From the air things look very different. An archaeologist trained in aerial reconnaissance can identify the tell-tale ‘ground responses’, the visual clues, that show the presence of even short-lived campaign camps.
In this video, Dr Rebecca Jones (a specialist in aerial photography and Roman camps) describes how aerial photography can reveal clues about the Roman advance.
