Newcastle upon Tyne, TWR Historic Sites & Interpretive Centres

Segedunum used to be a Roman fort at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall. Recent excavations have unearthed the foundations of the fort and the Roman bath has been recreated. There is also a museum showcasing finds from the archaelogical digs.

Designated a World Heritage Site, Hadrian's Wall was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in approximately AD 122 to separate the Romans from the Barbarians of then Roman Britain. The 117-km (73-mi) long wall ran across modern-day England from Walls End and Newcastle on the east coast to Carlisle on the west coast and measured up to 3 m (9.5 ft) wide and 6 m (18 ft) high. Much of the wall is still present in places and features the remains of forts and milestones.
