Roman Army Museum, Hexham, Northumberland. Hadrian's Wall.

The world-conquering Roman Army was one of the most effective fighting forces in history and it made the growth of the Roman Empire possible. The Roman Army Museum, is an extremely visual, colourful and interactive museum which covers all aspects of the Roman Legions and really brings the Roman Army to life. The Romans had invaded Britain in AD43 and after years of conquest, in AD122, the Emperor Hadrian ordered the building of a wall, to defend the Empire from the Barbarians from the north and to control trade. The legions of the Roman Army stationed in Britain built Hadrian’s wall and would then defend it for the next 300 years. Hadrian’s Wall is now a World Heritage site and is the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain. The museum is a useful stop if you are walking the wall, located very close to Hexham/Greenhead. It also offers a nice little café, mainly offering cakes and sandwiches. The museum has something on offer for everyone. For the adults: • The excellent 3D movie of Hadrian’s Wall, “Edge of Empire” has some truly stunning aerial views of the wall and also offers a great chance to sit down in the comfort of the cinema, especially if you have been walking the wall! • The realistic full-size figures displaying the various uniforms of the Roman army are really impressive. • An informative and well-made film is projected in the main gallery, visually explains the structure of the Roman Army. • A selection of fascinating original artefacts, replica helmets, weapons, shields and armour. Must see item, an original Roman helmet crest, the only one ever to be discovered! For the younger visitors: • All of the above. • A Roman classroom with a holographic tutor. • A Roman Centurion recruiting officer welcoming new recruits. • Interactive hands on items. The museum does contain original Roman artefacts, but if this is the main thing that you are interested in and only intend to visit one site then you would be better visiting Vindolanda. Location – Roman Army Museum, Carvoran House, Brampton, Cumbria, CA8 7JB. The museum is perfectly located just a few minutes walk from the Walltown visitor centre, along the Hadrian’s Wall path and nearby the village of Greenhead, for overnight accommodation. It is also on the AD122 tourist bus route. The museum is actually located next to the site of the Carvoran Roman Fort, although no visible remains exist. Money saving tip - Buy a combined ticket with Vindolanda, if you intend to visit both places and save money. Travel by bus AD122 to the museum and save 10% on the cost of admission.
