1085 reviewsExperience the edge of an empire at the award-winning Roman Army Museum.
Located in the stunning central section of Hadrian’s Wall, the museum takes you on an interactive and engaging journey back through time. Life sized replicas and real artefacts from the fort at Vindolanda give you a glimpse of Roman life, not just for the soldiers but also the women and the children.
Sign up for 25 years service at the recruitment tent, try your hand at archery, have a fun lesson in the Roman classroom and watch the epic Edge of Empire film, which takes you on an eagle’s eye journey across Hadrian’s Wall.
Between April and September you can also see live excavation taking place at the Roman Fort of Magna which is situated right next to the museum. There is nowhere else like this on Hadrian’s Wall and it is the perfect place to start your Roman adventure.
