Chesters Roman Fort & Museum

Chesters Roman Fort is the most complete Roman cavalry fort in Britain - wander around the unusually well-preserved baths and steam room, and the officers' quarters. Discover an amazing collection of Roman objects and inscriptions in the Clayton Museum, re-launched in 2016. 

Whilst relaxing in English Heritage's most tranquil Fort, taste the Tearoom treats inside Chesters Tearoom. 

A family trail, 'Chesters Takeover' will catapult you back in time. Become a Commander, Musician, Trooper or Messenger as you explore the Fort, picturesquely located by the North Tyne river.
