#Alongthewallin80days - Day 10

Hadrian's Wall Festival is TOMORROW! The final Roman Fort we need to learn more about Chesters...

 

Built in 123 AD, just after the wall's completion, Chesters Roman Fort is the best-preserved Roman cavalry fort in Britain.

Built in 123 AD, just after the wall's completion, Chesters Roman Fort is the best-preserved Roman cavalry fort in Britain. You can easily see what life would have been like here at the Empire’s northern outpost as you wander the officers' quarters and explore the well-preserved baths and steam room. The beautifully restored Victorian museum of Roman finds from across Hadrian’s Wall gives a fascinating insight into the way Victorians viewed the world and houses some of impressive ‘clayton collection’ of Roman stonework and finds.
