Explore the fascinating remains of Hadrian's Wall, a marvel of Roman engineering
Discover one of the best‑preserved Roman forts, Housesteads, which holds rich historical insights
Stop at the charming border town of Jedburgh to visit the ruins of the Augustinian Abbey

The Romans came, they saw, but they did not fully conquer.
After centuries of raids and battles in the ancient north of Britannia, they decided to build a wall. But this was not just any ordinary wall; it was a stunning feat showcasing the power of the ancient Roman Empire and illustrating how the Romans interacted with the British tribes.

This tour will take you to the most interesting parts of this magnificent structure, giving you an in‑depth understanding of Rome's influence on Britain. You will also have the opportunity to explore the rolling hills of the border region and visit an ancient abbey. Additionally, you will discover the incredible Roman site of Vindolanda.
This tour is perfect for anyone interested in cultural encounters and quintessentially British landscapes.
