Arbeia – South Shields Roman Fort is FREE to visit, boasts: an impressive full-scale reconstructed Roman gatehouse; outstanding collection of Roman artefacts and foundations of a Roman fort, used by Emporer Severus as his headquarters during the invasion of Scotland and later as a supply depot for Hadrian’s Wall.

The History bit - The fort was built during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian, guarding the sea route to the river Tyne and later used to supply the troops on Hadrian’s Wall. The fort has been adapted a number of times, originally housing a mix of Roman infantry and cavalry, supplied by two granaries, which was standard for a Roman fort. The visible fort was built under the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180). It was the headquarters of Emperor Severus during his invasion of Scotland (AD208-10), during which at least thirteen granaries were added to supply the invasion force. In AD 222 – 235 Arbeia supplied the troops on Hadrian’s Wall and the number of granaries was increased to 24. Hadrian’s Wall started to be built in AD122 on the instructions of the Emperor Hadrian. For 300 years it remained the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire and is the most important Roman monument build in Britain. The Wall was built to protect the Empire from the northern barbarians and to control the population and trade. Interesting facts – Arbeia means “place of the arabs” and may have got it’s name from a unit of bargemen stationed at the fort, who originated from the River Tigris, in modern-day Iraq. In Roman times the gatehouse would have been plastered with white plaster and painted with red paint to emulate stone blocks. Location: Arbeia Roman Fort, Baring Street, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE33 2BB. Check the official website for details and opening times: https://arbeiaromanfort.org.uk/ If you live or are staying in Newcastle or Sunderland it is close and really easy to get to and just a short walk from the metro. Personal Recommendation- If you are staying in Newcastle or nearby then Arbeia is well worth a visit especially as it is free to enter and a short walk from the metro. The gatehouse is very impressive, the two small museum buildings hold a really interesting collection of artefacts. The chain mail suit is very rare. The fort foundations have been extensively robbed out in places and are sometimes only indicated by markers, other sites along the wall have more complete foundations. Arbeia is surrounded by housing and suffers in comparison with sites such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Chesters, which are located in the countryside and their rural location make it easier for the visitor to imagine the forts as they once were.
