Vindolanda is one of the premier sites on Hadrian's Wall. The home of the Vindolanda Writing tablets, voted Britain's Top Tresure by the British Museum. Ongoing excavations run on the site from April to the end of August each year. The closest to the Romans that you can get!
History comes alive at The Roman Army Musuem through the amazong Eagles Eye film, see a section Hadrian's Wall from the air as it is today and travel 2000 years back in time through virtual reconstruction for the return journey. The Roman Army Museum is a great introduction to Hadrian's Wall and the soldiers that were stationed there.
