Housesteads is set high on a dramatic escarpment of Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site. There are stunning panoramic views to enjoy from this ancient fortress, making it a fantastic location to visit. Built into Hadrian’s Wall and on top of the Whin Sill – a 295 million year old lava flow. You will be astounded at the determination of the Roman Empire. Added to this the Roman latrine at this fort is the best example you will see in Britain, with 24 seats there is plenty of space!
