Very impressive Roman fort on Hadrians wall. Information boards really need replacing but didn’t distract from the experience. Superb views along the wall and walks direct from site. Museum small but… Full review by lostagainScarborough

We drove out to Housesteads Roman Fort & Hadrian’s Wall, as there appeared to be more to see and do for our young daughter, rather than just a wall. It’s a bit of a walk up the hill from the carpark … Full review by senorita08

We will tour the fort first during operational hours but probably will not have time to visit Hadrians Wall before the Fort Closes.

The actual car park will remain open. There are payment meters for the car park, these use number plate recognition and know your arrival time. Before departure you need to type in your number plate and pay for your time parked.
