Important information

* On closed dates this site may still be open, please check English Heritage directly for more information * All visitors aged 16+ must scan the NHS Track & Trace QR code upon arrival
  • See the remnants of the mighty Roman Empire, just outside the quaint village of Bardon Mill in Northumberland's rolling countryside
  • Explore the ruins of the fort's barracks, its hospital, and what is likely Britain's oldest-known toilet, with a guided tour of the site
  • Soak up the gorgeous English countryside scenery that is as epic now as it was back in Hadrian's day!

Where's the oldest toilet in Britain? It's at Housesteads Roman Fort! This antique latrine is located along Hadrian's Wall and recalls a time when the long arm of the Roman Empire reached all the way into Britain.

Join a tour of this ancient wonder and explore the crumbled barracks and hospital ruins in perfect Roman military tortoise-formation (or simply walk normally). Marvel at the ancient relics and savor some timeless countryside scenery.

Present your smartphone ticket at the entrance.

Tours are only available through school holidays and they depart from the visitor centre. Please inquire on the day about tour times.

Brought the past to life. Tour guide was great. Walked alongside the wall afterwards to Sycamore Gap which is only 2 miles away.
