Hear about Carlisle Luguvalium, the Wall Fort Uxcellodunum then, off to visit our fabulous Wall as you tour the north Cumbrian landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and enjoy wonderful scenery along the Wall route. The tour includes a 1-hour guided walk along a Roman mile from Birdoswald Fort (English Heritage site) to Gilsland alongside Wall remains, hearing why and how the Wall was built, or stay with the coach and visit the Fort or enjoy a tea break before re-joining the coach to meet up with the walking group in Gilsland.
Then travelling through the Northumberland National Park to enjoy Magna Roman Army Museum audio visual presentations and finally, for a fantastic conclusion to our Edge of Empire Coach Tour experience, entry is included to the award winning Vindolanda Fort and Museums and a guided tour with your guide. Exciting archaeological excavations are taking place on selective dates.
