Experience Days Tours: Spend the day travelling back in time to the Roman era, when
sandals were the only footwear in fashion.
Picture the scene: the
Romans have just invaded Britain and are on their way to take
Caledonia (or modern day Scotland).
Discover the landmarks they
left behind as you walk across the stunning landscape of the
Northumberland National Park, and along the famous Hadrian's
Wall.
The half day experience is led by your personal tour guide
Venutius, an expert on all things Roman who's dedicated to creating
the most immersive experience possible - and will even start the
tour in full Roman authentic costume! Venutius belongs to the
Brigantes Tribe and has lived through the Roman invasion, so he can
tell you about life before their arrival, life during their 368
year ruling, and the purpose of building the wall.
During this 1.
5
mile tour you'll have stunning views across the moorland of the
National Park, and you will even be able to see the defence ditch
the Romans used which still remains today! This experience also
includes entry to one of the local museums where you can find out
more fun facts and expand your knowledge of the Roman era.
This Roam with Romans Tour will last for approximately 4 hours,
including a walk across the central sections of
Hadrian's Wall.
So put on your
walking boots, it's time to meet a Roman and go back in time!
