    I like that your walk in Roman gear along the wall is experimental archaeology in that you're able to actually testify as to the necessity of the baths

      Oh I think they were a lot more vital than people realise, not just social but medicinal too!

    Intetesting, that was quite a large complex. ❤

      Its really quite large but its only the 5th Lagest on Hadrian's wall. Sadly the first and second have been entirely destroyed! Birdoswald and South Shields (Arbeia) are still well preserved and Housesteads is good but was hit hard by Victorian archeologists!

    Great tour, it's as if I had gotten a tour guide in person! Can't wait to visit places like these myself

    Smashing video Alex! We were there in 2021 and it really is worth a visit ... I'm certain it would be even better with a knowledgeable guide like you!

    Great job, is this a park of some sort now? what kind of access would a visitor from out of country have to this site?

      It's a English Heritage site - you can buy a ticket and walk all around it. All are welcome!
