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 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 group in Gilsland.
On to enjoy the Roman Army Museum audio visual presentations and finally, for a fantastic conclusion of our Hadrian’s Wall Guided Coach Tour experience, entry is included to the award winning Vindolanda Fort and Museums and where exciting archaeological excavations are currently taking place.
Other information:
• Moderate fitness, sensible walking boots/shoes and warm, shower proof clothing are essential for the guided walk. It includes walking down a short steep stretch and a climb of a good many steps.
• Refreshments are available at the Roman Army Museum & Vindolanda Fort and Museum.
• Picnic tables outside offer space to enjoy a packed lunch. This gives you more time to explore.
• We regret we are not able to welcome dogs on the coach (ex. guide-dogs)
