Chesters Roman Fort and Museum - Hadrian's Wall

Very friendly staff, with good information about Chester's . Nice tea room. Roman fort layout was well preserved and you could imagine the parts that were not exposed, very impressive bathhouse near to where the bridge used to be. The museum with all the artifacts that were found was very interesting, a lot of intact items, gave you an idea of what life was like then .

Attended their Roman Soldiers simulated night attack last evening. Well worth a visit . Good commentary explaining all about soldiers and their life in the area. Great experience for all ages. You can take your own chair and the cafe and toilets are open.

Great English Heritage site with ample parking. Toilet facilities, cafe and gift shop which are a big plus and very clean. The Roman site itself is fascinating with lots more to be uncovered I have no doubt, and a museum to show what has been unearthed. Great views over the river too and all in all a great day out. So good we joined English Heritage as there are loads more sites to be seen!

Visiting Chester Roman Fort includes the Clayton Museum. A very impressive collection of small items and stones found along the wall. As everyone will pick up on different aspects, it surprised me from how many different places soldiers came from (Spain, the Netherlands). You'll find religious items that these soldiers brought from their home.A short walk brings you to the fort and bath, next to the river North Tyne. Well preserved, good information boards.

Great ruins to visit, on a beautiful river, with the best preserved bathhouse in England.Has on site parking, gift shop, museum, toilets, small cafe.Definately worth a visit.

One of the best Roman forts on the wall, with great childrens activities during the holidays. It is very scenic. The Riverside cafe nearby is brilliant.

An interesting visit to this location in the Tyne Valley next to the river.. Like most roman ruins there's not a lot to see beyond low walls but a fascinating peice of history. The museum has interesting artifacts. I was disappointed that there is only a tiny section of the actual wall to see. Nearby Housteads has much more extensive ruins and plenty of restored wall as well, so a better place to visit. Entry prices are expensive at just under £13 a head and they charge £3 for parking on top of that!

Really great place to visit if your interested in history, I think this is the best roman site we've been to. Was really surprised about the amount that remained and the vast collection in the museum. Really enjoyed reading the history of the land owner too and of the dig. Great views whilst on the fields. We came on the Thurs and returned on the Sunday for the falconry day as we enjoyed it so much. Nice little cafe, clean facilities and friendly staff in the well stocked gift shop.

Wonderful place. All sections of the fort and wall are gated, so you don't miss any (you can enter and walk right on the site itself) with information boards and sign posts about what is what. Little museum with lots of artefacts, a gift shop I could have spent about a million pound in (English Heritage member, thank the Lord) and lovely, kind staff who really go out of their way for you. There are horses and sheep on the little walk through, which was cute, and we went on a hot day, so the raspberry lemonade from the tea room was refreshing and delicious! Pay for parking but free for memberships, and I believe discounted for related memberships (don't quote me on that). Can be an almost free day out depending what you're after.
