Very nice to be immersed in the atmosphere of a huge Roman fortress that stood here for 700 years and has been rebuild at least 7 times. Rich in information. Live excavation going on. Highly recommended.

Our second visit to Vindolanda, I find it fascinating on how advanced the Romans were. I would advise purchasing the guide book, there are several centuries of occupation on this site and this can make it difficult to interprate, when looking at the remains. There was a live archeology dig at the time of our visit, there are also two living archeology experiments on going in terms of an example of recreated mile castle and wall, both in timber and stone, the museum is breathtaking in terms of finds and their preservation. Well worth a visit.

Utterly astounding. The ruins of Vindolanda are incredible and this is only a small fraction of what was actually there. The museum has some incredible artifacts on display that give a genuine human connection to the people who lived at Vindolanda. If you have an interest in history this is a must see.

Always loved history at school, so this was a no brainer. What a historical site, plenty to see, ruins, artifacts & a tour guide if needed. Had a wonderful day of history. Would definitely recommend for all the family.

Very interesting remains of a Roman settlement. So much more to see here than I imagined. The ruins have informative signage indicating what were the homes, baths, latrines, tavern, military buildings and granaries etc. There is a wonderful museum exhibiting the finds from the site and a lovely cafe. Well worth visiting.

A wonderful archaeological dig site on a Roman military fortress and the village that grew up immediately outside its gates.There is so much of interest to see here, including the reconstruction of both a wooden and a stone watch tower, a small temple and the superb museum, where so many of the finds are displayed.

A beautiful experience ! The guide was very informative and explained the site so well, that you could imagine what it would have been like all those years ago.Even without the guides and array of different tours you can hop in and out of, the site is well looked after and fun to look around. Definitely for kids and adults alike, it has something for everyone here. Because footfall was not heavy in October, it was very peaceful.The mini museum is such a bonus, and the cafe at the back has the most awesome decor in the style of ancient Roman times.Loved it !
