Chesterholme

Vindolanda

  • The Vindolanda Museum, also known as the Chesterholm Museum, was the Roman Fort of Vindolanda located just south of Hadrian’s Wall.
  • It holds two reconstructed forts built in 1974, one of stone and the other of wood.
  • It is noted for a Find consisting of wooden writing tablets called the Vindolanda Tablets.

Roman Roads

  • The Stanegate
    • Stanegate was a Roman Road between Carlisle and Corbridge.
    • It was built before Hadrian's Wall and runs parallel to it but on the southern flank of the Rivers Eden and South Tyne.
    • It was the only east west road behind the Wall that was available to wheeled vehicles, as the narrow Military Way was for men and horses only.
