As part of the Festival of Archeology 2024 our team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable English Heritage Volunteers will be offering guided tours of Wall Roman Site (Letocetum) in Staffordshire .
An important staging post on Watling Street, the Roman military road to north Wales. The road network was crucial to the Romans' control over their empire. At staging posts like Wall weary Roman officials, soldiers and imperial messengers could find lodging for the night and change their horses.
At Wall today you can still see the remains of an inn for travellers and the public baths, with its sequence of cold, warm and hot rooms. The site museum provides a fascinating insight into life here and displays many excavated finds.
Tours are taking place on Saturday 27 July and Sunday 28 July at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm. The tours last approx. 1 hour and we advise our visitors to wear sensible footwear. Please meet on the site where you will be met by your tour guide. Parking is available and dogs are welcome on leads.
