Step into the world of the Romans on this relaxed, private tour by car—perfect for curious travelers who want to explore without a long hike. Travel along the ancient Stanegate Road, discover rare Roman milestones like the Chesterholm stone, and hear the stories behind the Vindolanda tablets and 1,800-year-old quarry graffiti. Along the way, we’ll visit the mysterious Mithraic Temple, walk the only stretch of Hadrian’s Wall where you are permitted to walk atop it, and learn how antiquarian John Clayton helped preserve this remarkable frontier. You'll also stop at a 19th-century lime kiln and uncover tales of the Border Reivers, all from the comfort of our vehicle with short, easy walks at each site. We finish with a warm drink from a favourite local coffee van—because history’s best enjoyed with good craic and great company.
