Benwell Roman Temple - Hadrian's Wall
This was the final stop on my great West-to-East quest to visit all the Hadrian's Wall Sites. As others have said, it's right in the middle of a housing estate, but is quiet and peaceful nevertheless. The most interesting bit is that this is the only site ever discovered dedicated to this particular god, Antenociticus. If you want to see the head of his statue discovered here, it's in the Great North Museum, not far away and well worth a visit. (Entrance to the museum is free!)

Not very big but surprisingly interesting and free. Surreal to see this amongst housing

Accessible history in the middle of a housing estate! Tucked at the top of a quiet Benwell street this temple is an interesting stop on a historical walk or a great way to educate the kids on what ancient gems lie just around the corner. I really like visiting here as the temple is dedicated to a local god who was adopted by the invading Romans.

Well cared for, jewel hidden in the middle name of suburbia.

It’s in a neighborhood. It’s fenced in and groomed. Unless you love history and walking on the same land where the Romans had walked, I would skip this and go to where more of Hadrian’s Wall is visible.

Gate is unlocked. Little bit of interesting Roman and pagan history.
