Wallsend: Segadunum Wallsend: Segadunum No Data

Description


The first, or last, fort on Hadrian's Wall and it's Eastern most extremity. From here a short spur of wall headed the few hundred yards to the banks of the Tyne. From this point the wall runs west across the country to Bowness. Very little of the original site remains, a few stones here and there, but a small chunk of the wall survives. On the site there is a full reconstruction of a Roman Army Bathhouse, based on finds both here and at other forts along the wall. The museum tells some of the history of the fort and the Roman Empire in Northern England. The museum also explains a little about the Colliery that is in the same area.
