Birdoswald Roman Fort
Birdoswald Roman Fort, Birdoswald, Hexham, Cumbria, CA8 7DD.
Birdoswald is located in an attractive setting along side the Hadrian's Wall, overlooking the River Irthing gorge. A Visitor Centre tells the story of the Roman connections, the border raids in the middle ages, the Victorians and twentieth century archaeological discoveries.
At Birdoswald, visitors can see the early turf wall built in AD 122, over the original fort. The turf wall, stone wall, Harrow's Scar Milecastle and the fort itself are all visible reminders of the Roman occupation.
A new bridge has been constructed which crosses the River Irthing and allows people to follow the wall to Willowford, where there is almost a mile of the best preserved western sector of the wall.
