    The main reason I chose this tour was to see Hadrians Wall. Of the 10 hour tour we got to spend about 10 mins at the Wall. We visited the lovely section at Steel Rig and I assumed we’d get to go for a nice walk and explore - instead we were told to take some photos from a vantage point and get back on this bus.

    The entire day trip was amazing. It definitely needs to be a two day trip. Our tour guide was the best. I told him that I would do research on how to make this a two-day trip and still plan to do this and send it in.

    Incessant, loud, talking about details and topics unrelated to Hadrian’s Wall. No time for quiet to enjoy the scenery. Disappointed in the site we were taken to see the wall — could see only about 40 yards of wall. Then stopped at a McDonalds on way home instead of at a village to explore. Most of time spent at a Roman museum, not Hadrians Wall. If you’re interested in Hadrians Wall, skip this tour.

    What to expect

    1

    Jedburgh Abbey

    A beautiful market town that Mary Queen of Scots famously visited. Optional visit to the Abbey.

    Duration 30 minutes
    Admission Admission Not Included
    2

    Carter Bar

    Continuing south we make a stop at the scenic Carter Bar on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. This crossing point between Scotland and England runs close to the ancient Roman road and has formed the border between the two countries for the past 700 years.

    Duration 10 minutes
    3

    Steel Rigg

    Hadrian’s Wall - The wildest and most northerly frontier of the ancient Roman Empire. We follow the road that takes us along the south side of the wall, stopping at Steel Rigg. You have time to walk beside the wall and experience the isolation that Roman foot soldiers would have experienced as they guarded their empire from the ‘barbarians’ to the north.

    Duration 45 minutes
    4

    Vindolanda

    * Entrance to Vindolanda Roman Army Museum (or Homesteads Roman Fort should Vindolanda be closed) included in the tour price. Vindolanda is one of Europe's most important Roman archaeological sites. Vindolanda means white lawns or white fields. We know that the Roman name for the fort was Vindolanda because of an altar set up by the civilians at Vindolanda to the god Vulcan which was found during drainage works in 1914. The altar is on display in the museum. The name Vindolanda has also been discovered on some of the writing tablets. (closed in January).

    Duration 90 minutes
