About Roman Vindolanda

Vindolanda is a Roman fort and settlement just south of Hadrian's Wall near Bardon Mill, around 11 miles west of Hexham. It is run by the Vindolanda Trust, the charity that also operates the Roman Army Museum, and excavation on the site continues.

Visitors can walk the excavated remains of the fort and civilian settlement and see finds from the site in the museum. Admission is charged; check the Vindolanda website for current prices, opening times and seasonal closures before visiting. The Trust also runs a programme of talks, tours and workshops through the year.
