Corbridge Roman Site and Museum: On the pivotal intersection of Roman Dere Street and Stanegate near the Tyne crossing, Corbridge played a vital role in every Roman campaign in northern Britain. The first forts here were founded c. AD 79-85 during the campaigns into Scotland under Agricola; the third in association with Hadrian's Wall; the last used during the campaigns of Antoninus Pius in the mid-2nd century. Corbridge then became a busy garrison town.
The extensively excavated remains include a fountain house with an aqueduct, a pair of granaries, and walled military comounds containing barracks, temples, houses and a head-quarters building with a below-ground strongroom. You can even walk on the original Stanegate Roman road, which predated Hadrian's Wall and passes through the centre of the site.
The museum displays a rich selection of Roman finds, and has extensive schools handling collections of real and replica Roman objects, including armour. An audio tour is provided to guide you around the site.
