Binchester Roman Fort
The major Roman fort of Binchester was the largest military installation in the North East. It guarded Dere Street, the main Roman road from York to Hadrian’s Wall. Today, visitors can explore the exceptionally well-preserved remains of not just one but two bath-houses, where you can step inside the Roman spaces and discover how soldiers and civilians lived 2,000 years ago.
