Huge amount to see and do in several locations on the site. I took a guided tour of the visible ruins which was good. The museum and cafe is down quite a slope but well worth the effort with a rec…Full review by Glynis B

My husband has wanted to visit this site for many years and we were finally able to fulfill this dream today (3.3.25). We had a long journey from our home on the Lleyn peninsula in North Wales, but i…Full review by Linda R
Is this a good attraction for very energetic 3&6 year old boys?

I would have to say not ideal. Not because of anything related to family friendly facilities - there are ample! More to do with what that age group would get out of it, certainly very little for …
I would have to say not ideal. Not because of anything related to family friendly facilities - there are ample! More to do with what that age group would get out of it, certainly very little for the youngster and maybe limited fun for the 6 year old in the small but insightful museum where there is some interactive stuff

Hi Fran, We went on a guided tour at 10.30am on Saturday 5th May. There was another one on later, maybe at 1pm? The guided tour is included in the admission price, and meets inside the courtyard at the western entrance. The other entrance is at the museum end of the site. The tour is conducted by a volunteer, ours was great. I highly recommend a tour! Jayne

With the exception of assistance dogs, no pets are allowed within Roman Vindolanda Fort and Museum or the Roman Army Museum. We are often asked to explain our no dogs’ policy within both Roman Vindolanda Museum and Fort and the Roman Army Museum. Roman Vindolanda is classed as a scheduled ancient monument and the remains along with the grounds and buildings require careful protection to ensure that visitors can continue to enjoy for many years to come. Introducing pets to a crowded and unfamiliar environment can pose safety risks for both people and animals, and our policy is applied to protect the visitors (many of whom are children) as well as the monument. Our sites are used year round by schools and visiting families and while we appreciate that the majority of owners are responsible and their dogs are well trained, there are a few however that are not. It is known that even well trained animals placed in a busy environment surrounded by unfamiliar people and potentially other animals, their behaviour may become unpredictable. Dog excrement is a known hazard and as a live archaeological site, we also require to ensure that the archaeological material is also not contaminated and our volunteers are not put at risk.
