Less than a mile from the town centre of Corbridge is the original Roman settlement that once was a bustling roman outpost, why not visit Corbridge Roman town built on Hadrian's wall which is a time-capsule of Roman life.

Lions were used as sacred symbols in Roman life, but the Corbridge lion is different. Find out what this extraordinary sculpture tells us about changing beliefs in Roman Britain. The countryside is beautiful here over 2o miles inland from Wallsend where the wall ends, you can still walk the wall as these people are below. Britain was one of some 44 provinces which made up the Roman Empire at its height in the early 2nd century AD, but Corbridge kept active as a Roman town until the 5th Century.
